Delta police officers are on the scene of a targeted shooting at a home in the northern part of the city.
Investigators say it is believed to be connected to an extortion investigation.
Around 5:10 a.m. on Wednesday, patrol officers responded to reports of shots fired at a home in the area of 84 Avenue and Brooke Road.
Neighbours told Global News that they heard at least half a dozen shots.

Police said people were inside the home at the time, but fortunately, no one was injured.
About a week ago, neighbours said they saw police parked out in front of the targeted house.
“I saw the police on the other side,” neighbour Victor Arturo Arnao Chavez said.
Another neighbour, Marcus Veri, said he was sleeping on Wednesday morning when he heard a noise.

“Then early in the morning, I just hear the officers knock and asking if we have CCTV and cameras and asking if we heard anything,” he added.
