(St. John’s, NL) May 24, 2025 – The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) is investigating a weapons offence in St. John’s.

Around 4:45 p.m. yesterday (May 23), patrol officers who were on routine patrol downtown, heard what they believed to be gunshots nearby and quickly proceeded to the direction of Brazil Street where they were waved down by a member of the public.

Upon arrival, responding officers determined that multiple gunshots had been fired at a vehicle parked outside of an apartment building. There were no reports of injuries. This is believed to be a targeted event.

The RNC Criminal Investigation Division is seeking any information, or video footage (CCTV, dash cam, cell phone) from the area encompassing Brazil Street, Casey Street, and Lemarchant Road between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. Friday.

The RNC is urging anyone with information to contact the RNC at 709-729-8000.
