Police in Burlington are investigating an "unintentional firearm discharge" from an officer's home after a bullet was shot through a kitchen window.

The bullet was fired from the home of a Halton Regional Police officer and went through the kitchen window of a neighbouring home where it was lodged in the wall around 6:45 p.m. yesterday, a police news release said today.

"No one was injured as a result of the incident," the press release said.

The 23-year veteran, who is a detective constable with the Regional Fraud Bureau, is continuing his regular duties during the investigation.

“I am ensuring a thorough and complete investigation is conducted into this serious matter," Chief Gary Crowell said in the release. "We are thankful that no one was injured."
