Windsor police have released video of shots that were fired at a gas station in the city’s east end.

In the early hours of March 9, officers responded to a call about gunshots in the area of St. Rose Avenue and Wyandotte Street East.

Police say officers were not able to locate the people responsible or any evidence of injuries or damage to property.

Later in the morning, the manager of a gas station in the area contacted the Windsor Police Service to report damage to the establishment.

Members of the Major Crimes Unit launched an investigation and located bullet casings at the scene. They also recovered video surveillance footage of the incident. Although the video shows the shots being fired, it is unclear what he is shooting at.

Based on the video surveillance, police say the suspect is a male with a medium build and is believed to be left-handed. At the time of the incident, he wore a white face mask, a black hooded coat with a blue shirt underneath, dark gloves, blue jogging pants, and beige boots.
