RCMP investigating shots fired in Royston

Comox Valley RCMP is investigating a case of shots fired in Royston.

Police were called out early Thursday morning to a report of possible shots fired in the Hilton Road area.

“This matter is still under investigation, including whether or not this incident is related to the shooting that occurred on July 27th,” says Gardner. “Although these incidents appear to have been targeted events, it is still very concerning when you have people shooting firearms in our community. We are lucky no one has been seriously injured.”
