Residents in a Kitchener neighbourhood woke up early Tuesday morning to the sound of gunfire.

“There were no reports of physical injuries as a result of the incident,” Const. Brad Hickey said. “The investigation is still ongoing and very active.”
Police believe it was a targeted shooting, making it the second one reported in the past week.
Last Tuesday, a 35-year-old man was found with a gunshot wound in the area of Mill Park and Green Valley Drive in Kitchener. He was airlifted to a hospital with serious injuries.
“Obviously, any sort of gun violence or violence of any nature is concerning,” said Hickey.

Police said they’ll continue to canvass the neighbourhood as they gather information that may assist in the investigation.
