Suspect sought in ‘targeted shooting’ on Hamilton Mountain: police

Hamilton Police are investigating what they are calling a ‘targeted shooting’ on the Mountain.

Officers were called to the area of Upper Sherman Avenue and Fennell Avenue East just after 4 a.m. Wednesday after receiving several reports of gunfire.

Police found shell casings and have determined that a lone suspect fired several rounds towards a townhouse, some of which struck the residence.

The house was occupied at the time, but no injuries have been reported.

Police say the suspect is a white man who was wearing dark clothing and was carrying a dark bag or case.

Investigators are asking residents in that neighbourhood to check their video surveillance cameras for any suspicious activity.
