Police are investigating after gunshots were fired at an occupied 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 4:45 a.m. near Rymal Road East and Atessa Drive, just east of Upper James Street. About 15 gunshots can be heard within five seconds.<\/p>\n

The sound of screeching tires can also be heard.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Hamilton police say a home and grey SUV parked in the driveway were damaged in what they believe to be a targeted shooting.<\/p>\n

From our initial investigation, it appears that the damage from the shooting is targeted towards a vehicle that\u2019s parked in the driveway, as you mentioned, as well as the residence itself was struck a number of times by gun fire,\u201d says Det. Matthew Dugdale with Hamilton police.<\/p>\n

Officers say that despite the home being occupied at the time of the shooting, no one was injured.<\/p>\n

A stray bullet also struck a neighbouring home.<\/p>\n

Authorities say the shooting was targeted and there is no ongoing risk to public safety.<\/p>\n

Investigators are gathering suspect information and trying to identify a white or light-coloured vehicle that was seen fleeing the area and travelling toward Rymal Road East following the shooting.<\/p>\n

Neighbours are being asked to check doorbell or home security cameras between 4:30 a.m. and 4:45 a.m. for any suspicious activity.<\/p>\n

Anyone who was driving in the area with a dash cam around the time of the incident is also asked to contact Hamilton police at 905-546-4883 or shootingresponseteam@hamiltonpolice.ca.<\/p>\n

Anonymous tips can be submitted online to Hamilton Crime Stoppers<\/a> or by calling 1-800-222-8477.<\/p>\n
