‘We heard gunfire': Neighbour stunned as St. Thomas Police investigating bullet holes in home
Police are investigating after reports of shots fired in the area of Erie Street and Talequah Street. June 17, 2025. (Brent Lale/CTV News London) Multiple bullet holes can be seen in a St. Thomas residence after overnight gunfire. Around 1:45 a.m. Tuesday, police went to the area of Erie Street and Talequah Street after taking multiple 911 calls for reported gunshots heard in a neighbourhood south of Wellington Street. 'It was a little bit of a wild morning,' says neighbour Allen Elliott. 'My wife and I were sound asleep and we heard gunfire — pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, right outside our bedroom window. We jolted awake and my wife said 'Oh, that's gunfire.' We called 911 and within a few minutes, police were here.' When officers arrived, they found multiple bullet holes in a window and door on the south side of a home on Talequah Street. 'The area has been blocked off as we continue to investigate,' says Samantha Wakefield, corporate communications officer for the St. Thomas Police Service (STPS). 'We do have our forensic identification technician on scene collecting photos. The area will remain under investigation.' st thomas - bullet holes - june 2025 The St. Thomas Police Forensic Identification team investigates bullet holes in the side of a home on Talequah St. in St. Thomas, Ont. (Brent Lale/CTV News London) Officers were canvassing door-to-door in the area and the forensic team had a metal detector scanning the grass next to the home. Neighbours tell CTV News that a couple in either their late 20s or early 30s live in the home. Police believe this to be a targeted incident and as of Tuesday morning, no injuries have been reported. Police have not made any arrests and they are trying to determine what happened. 'We're in the early stages,' says Wakefield. 'We are asking members of the public if they have any information around that time of 1:45 a.m. this morning in this area, to contact police. They can submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers or use our QR code that's been posted on our website and social media to add any information they may have.' allen elliott - ctv Allen Elliott speaks with CTV News on June 17, 2025. (Brent Lale/CTV News London) Wakefield says new technology is in place to help the public submit tips to STPS during a major investigation. 'It allows members of the community to directly provide camera video information to police that pertains directly to the incident,' she says. 'The QR code is tagged with the incident number and goes directly to those investigating within our police service.' As police and neighbours try to determine what happened, Elliot remains stunned. 'It's pretty quiet,' he says of his dead-end street. 'We rarely get any activity here at all. The odd ambulance, but this is certainly a first. I imagine it's a first for a lot of the areas in Saint Thomas. It's a pretty quiet town'.
