Niagara police say they are investigating an incident in which a group of teens were shot by a pellet gun at a St. Catharines public park last Thursday.
Detectives say four teens, between the ages of 17 and 18, were forced to evade a barrage of pellets fired at them just before 9 p.m. in Joe McCaffery Park on Vansickle Road.
Two of the teens suffered minor injuries from the shots.
Investigators say a dark-coloured SUV, which flashed its headlights at the unsuspecting teens prior to the shooting, is a vehicle of interest since that’s where the gunfire allegedly came from.
