St. John’s, N.L. — The RNC’s major crime unit is investigating a report that three people were shot at in the Cochrane Pond area Sunday afternoon.
Just before 3 p.m., the three adults were in the area for winter leisure activities when they say multiple shots were fired in their direction. When officers arrived, they saw multiple bullet holes in a pickup truck belonging to one of the complainants.

It’s not known at this time whether this was an intentional or accidental shooting, as officers were not able to locate the person or persons responsible.
