UPDATE: London police say the suspect turned himself in to police on June 24.

Police in London, Ont., say a suspect remains a large after a man was reportedly seen firing a shotgun at another man in the city’s east end.

It was around 1:20 p.m. Saturday when police responded to a disturbance on Boullee Street, just north of where Grosvenor and Rabb streets connect.

Police say officers then learned that earlier in the day, multiple witnesses reported seeing a man in a vehicle fire a shotgun in the direction of a 45-year-old man.

Evidence of a gun being fired was found and police say they were no reported injuries. Police also noted that they were not contacted about the alleged shooting.
