       Residents in a Kitchener neighbourhood woke up early Tuesday morning
       to the sound of gunfire.
        
       Waterloo regional police said the shots were fired into a residential
       building on Jean Avenue, near Weber Street East and Fergus Avenue,
       around 6 a.m.
        
       Bullet holes could be seen in the glass door at the front entrance.
        
       Gunshots fired into a residential building on Jean Avenue in Kitchener
       on May 7, 2024.
        
       "There were no reports of physical injuries as a result of the
       incident," Const. Brad Hickey said. "The investigation is still
       ongoing and very active."
        
       Police believe it was a targeted shooting, making it the second one
       reported in the past week.
        
       Last Tuesday, a 35-year-old man was found with a gunshot wound in the
       area of Mill Park and Green Valley Drive in Kitchener. He was
       airlifted to a hospital with serious injuries.
        
       "Obviously, any sort of gun violence or violence of any nature is
       concerning," said Hickey.

       information to be able to assist us in the investigation," Hickey
       added.
        
       Police said they'll continue to canvass the neighbourhood as they
       gather information that may assist in the investigation.
