Police are investigating after gunshots were fired at a home and parked vehicle on Hamilton Mountain early Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

CHCH News obtained home surveillance video that captures the sound of multiple gunshots around 3:45 a.m. near Rymal Road East and Atessa Drive, just east of Upper James Street.<\/p>\n
