Hamilton police say they are investigating a possible “shots fired” incident in Ancaster on Monday morning after officers found shell casings in a field.

Const. Lorraine Edwards says nearby residents in the area of Southcote and Book roads called in reports to 911 around 12:30 a.m.

Police say no injuries were reported and it appears nothing was hit by the suspected gunfire.

The possible shooting is the second of its kind in the last five days.

Police believe the city’s 44th shooting of 2019 happened late on Wednesday near Cannon Street East and Kensington Avenue North.

Investigators say they have found evidence that supports the theory shots were fired around midnight.
