MEDICINE HAT — City police are looking for a suspect seen running away from the scene of a weapons complaint earlier this morning which saw several shots fired at a home.

A tall male dressed in black was seen running from the area of the 200 block of 4th street S.W.

When last seen the suspect was heading west from that area but police utilizing their K-9 unit were unable to locate the individual.

Police say there was no obvious motive for the shooting and a number of rounds were fired at the window of the home.

The incident happened at 4:45 this morning and no injuries were reported.

Staff-Sgt. Chad Holt from the MHPS major crimes unit says such incidents are rare in Medicine Hat.

“We don’t have very many situation like this. Larger centres – yes, we have offences like this but this is a very, very rare occurence in our city,” said Holt.
