No one was injured when someone opened fire on a Burnaby apartment building Sunday night.

Burnaby RCMP Cpl. Brenda Gresiuk said police were called to the building in the 4300-block Central Boulevard after receiving reports of shots being fired.

Gresiuk couldn't say how many shots were fired at the apartment but said it was a "targeted incident."

She said someone at the building was the intended target of the shots, but couldn't say whether that person was a resident or visiting a resident at the time.

"We're very fortunate and very pleased to say no one was injured," she said.

"There's always great potential when you have an open air shooting. It's very concerning if you live there or live near the neighbourhood."

Gresiuk said a forensic investigation is underway and police investigators are talking to "persons involved."
