(St. John’s, NL) October 17, 2025 – The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) is investigating a weapons offence in St. John’s.

Just before 6:30 a.m. today, patrol officers responded to a report of gunshots being fired in the area of Prospero Place. Upon arrival, officers determined that multiple gunshots had been fired at a residence resulting in damage to the property. There were no injuries.

This is believed to be a targeted event and at this time, there is no information to suggest it is connected to a shooting last night nearby.

The RNC Major Crime Unit is urging anyone with information or video footage (CCTV, dash-camera, cell phone) between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. from the area encompassed by Columbus Drive, Brier Avenue, Polina Road, and Kenmount Road to contact the RNC at 709-729-8000.
