In what appears to be a random act of violence, a downtown St. Catharines barbershop had its front windows shot out this morning (October 26) during the wee hours.
Niagara Police were called to Hourglass Barbershop at 5 James St. this morning at 7:50 am when a City of St. Catharines employee noticed the damage.
The window had apparently been shot “multiple times” and investigators put the time of the shooting at roughly 4:30 am based on CCTV footage.
Since the store closed at 7 pm last night and didn’t reopen until 11 am this morning, no one was injured in the gunplay.
However, due to CCTV footage, the police do have a suspect car in the shooting. It is described as an SUV newer model (possibly a Lexus), red with four doors.
The police say it was last seen headed towards the Westchester Avenue and St. Paul Street area at the edge of downtown St. Catharines.
