Three times in the last week shots have been fired at two different homes in a rural Stoney Creek mountain neighbourhood.

Police aren’t releasing many details, but people who live in the area have told CHCH that one person was taken to hospital with a gunshot wound and it’s all connected to a legal marijuana grow operation at a home on the street.

“I’m concerned about the safety of the neighbourhood for my family, with this recent outbreak of three incidents of gunfire in 6 days in front of the property, ” said one neighbour.

Shots were fired around 2 a.m. on April 17 leaving at least two bullet holes in the house right next door to a legal marijuana grow operation.

The shooters then returned at 4:30 a.m. and shot at the other house that has a massive greenhouse in the back.

That house came under fire again this Saturday at around 11 p.m. A neighbour reported hearing about seven or eight gunshots before he called 911.

Hamilton police believe the shooters are targeting a specific property but won’t say which one. They’ve increased police presence in the area.
