Regional police are investigating a shooting that took place in Dartmouth on Thursday night.

At roughly 9:05 p.m., officers responded to reports of multiple gunshots in the area of Charlottetown Way. There were no reported injuries.

Police said a newer white SUV, described as having bluish headlights, was seen leaving the area toward Valleyfield Road at the Spikenard Street exit around the time the gunshots were heard.

According to HRP, a person wearing a grey hoodie with the hood up was also seen on the footpath going toward Bowser Avenue from Charlottetown Way and getting into a blue sedan, possibly a Honda Civic.

Police said the investigation is in its early stages and anyone with information is asked to contact HRP or Crime Stoppers.
