Sudbury police are investigating a shooting at a home on Grandview Boulevard in the New Sudbury area Wednesday morning and say they believe it is a targeted incident.

"Officers responded to the area and attended a residence on Grandview Boulevard that had sustained damage caused by gunfire. No one was injured during this incident."
