Police quiet on details after Stoney Creek shooting

Hamilton police are investigating after shots were fired early Monday at a home in Stoney Creek but they are giving little in the way of information other than that.

Police say they responded to a report of shots fired at a home on Green Mountain Road around 4:30 a.m.

"There are no injuries and the incident does not appear to be random," a police news release reads.

"No further information is available at this time."

One neighbour, who asked not to be identified over fears for his safety, said he heard shots twice on Monday morning once at 2:30 a.m. and again at 4 a.m.

"We were awoken, it was very loud," the neighbour said. "First I thought it was fireworks, but I know in my heart it wasn't."

The neighbour says that a bullet shattered one of the windows of the property in question,and saysthat he has been petitioning the city to do something about the home for years.

The home was raided by a police tactical unit in the fall of 2016, he said.

Police did not immediately respond to emails and calls to answer questions for this story.

Investigators, the neighbour says, are not saying much about the incident.

"They are very tight lipped. They're not telling the community anything."
