Police are investigating an incident that occurred about 7pm last night, in which several gunshots were fired into a residence in Tinderbox Road, Blackmans Bay.

An occupant of the residence was home at the time but no one was injured.

The incident is being investigated by members of Kingston and Hobart CIB. Initial investigations suggest the parties are known to one another and there is no threat to the wider community.

Police would like to speak to anyone who may have information relating to this matter, or any person who may have seen a dark coloured or silver sedan in the area around that time.
