Hamilton police are investigating after multiple gunshots were fired at the back of a central Mountain house Wednesday night.

Police responded to the house on East 23rd Street, between Crockett and Concession streets, just after 10 p.m.

There were three people inside the residence at the time of the shooting, however, no one was hurt, said Const. Indy Bharaj.

Police found bullet holes in a wall and a patio door was shattered. Multiple shell casings were found at the scene and there were at least 14 bullet holes in the building.
