Hamilton police are investigating a shooting in central Hamilton overnight.

Police were called shortly after midnight Wednesday to Ashley Street after a witness reported hearing two gunshots, said Const. Adam Kimber.

Police found two shell casings on the road between King and King William streets.

A small amount of blood was found nearby at King and Ashley streets but that is believed to have been from a fight outside a bar in the area, Kimber said. Police checked hospitals and there are no reported injuries from the shooting.
