Winnipeg police are investigating after shots were fired at a downtown restaurant.
A window was shattered at the Modern East African Tapas Restaurant and Lounge on Portage Avenue just before 3 a.m. Saturday, Const. Jason Michalyshen said.
"I can tell you that we have information about a projectile being located," he said, [but] "no information as to type of weapon being used."
No injuries have been reported.
Last September two people were shot after leaving the same restaurant. Police said there is no indication the two incidents are related.
