Police are investigating a shooting in downtown Kitchener Monday afternoon.
Police posted on X, formerly Twitter, just before 5 p.m. asking people to avoid the area of King Street W., between Young Street and Ontario Street. They said officers were “investigating reports of gunshots into a Kitchener business.”
“There are no reports of any physical injuries,” police said.
Details about what happened were not immediately available.
Yellow police tape blocked off King Street. The glass from a bus shelter in front of the Pur Cannabis store could be seen shattered on the ground.
“Expect an increase in police presence in the area,” police said on social media.
