RCMP are investigating after gunfire perforated a North Vancouver home overnight.
North Vancouver RCMP said the home in the 900 block of Tollcross Road was occupied when shots rang out around 4 a.m. on Monday.
Thankfully, no one was hurt.
The homeowner called police after hearing a loud bang and discovering bullet holes in the home. RCMP later found evidence of gunfire at the scene.
Property records show the home is owned by the speed boat operator involved in a deadly speed boat collision in the waters off Cates Park earlier this year.
Ten-year-old Lionel Hall was killed and a second child was taken to hospital in critical condition on June 8 when a scarab motor boat struck them as they were being towed on an inflatable tube.

It remains unclear which boat had the right of way. Police are investigating whether alcohol or speed played a factor.
The boat operator was arrested following the collision, and released on a promise to appear in court.
The overnight gunfire came just days before his scheduled Aug. 27 court date.
“This is an unsettling incident that understandably causes concern in the community,” North Vancouver RCMP Const. Mansoor Sahak said of the shooting in a Monday media release.
“At this time, the motive remains under investigation and there is no known threat to public safety.”
Anyone with video shot in the area around the time of the shooting or who has information is urged to call North Vancouver RCMP at 604-985-1311 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
