Police are continuing to seek information following shooting in the city's west-end, Wednesday evening

On December 14th, 2024 - The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) continue their investigation into the weapons offence case in West-End St John's.

Just after 6 p.m. Wednesday (Dec. 11), multiple units of the RNC descended on Canada Drive near Burgeo Street after reports of what sounded like gunshots. A canvass and search of the area showed no visible damage, and there were no witnesses or injuries reported.

However, Investigators with the Criminal Investigation Division (CID) continued to investigate and have since confirmed property damage from gunshots. Police say this is believed to be a targeted event.

The Criminal Investigation Division (CID) is asking anyone with information or video footage (CCTV, dash-camera, cell phone) from the area bordered by Frecker Drive, Burgeo Street, Topsail Road, and Cowan Avenue, between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Wednesday to contact police at 709-729-8000.
