The Richibucto RCMP is searching for a suspect after shots were fired at a house in Saint-Paul, N.B.

Police said the shooting happened around 1:30 a.m. on March 26 at a house on Route 515. The residents were home at the time and were not injured.

RCMP said they found out about the shooting the next day when a member of the detachment was told about the shooting during a community meeting in Saint-Paul. Police said officers immediately started an investigation.

It’s believed this was an isolated incident, said the police news release.

“I understand that events like this are very concerning, and I would like to reassure the residents of Saint-Paul that the RCMP is committed to ensuring the safety of everyone in the communities we serve,” said Sgt. Guillaume Bélanger in a news release.

On Sunday, police released a photo from video surveillance showing a small orange sedan stop in front of the house and then shoot. RCMP said the driver then drove away.
