Burlington Police are investigating after an apartment building was shot multiple times in the early hours of Thursday morning. No one inside was injured in the shooting.

According to a news release from Burlington Police Deputy Chief Shawn Burke, police received multiple calls at 3:26 a.m. Thursday reporting the sound of gunshots near the western end of Riverside Avenue, in the city's Old North End neighborhood.
