Windsor Police are also investigating a second shooting that occurred over the weekend.

In a news release, police said their major crimes unit were actively investigating after officers responded to reports of « multiple shots » being fired around 3am on Saturday.

The shots were reported in the Curry Avenue and Martindale Street area.

A house in the area was damaged by the gunfire, but police said the residence was not believed to have been targeted.
