After a ground and aerial search of Rainbow Park that took place this morning, no further evidence of a shooting has been found.
Officers contained and searched the Park, adjacent waterfront area and neighboring yards after gunshots were heard at 6:00am.
The SPS drone was deployed and used to conduct a visual search from the air – allowing officers to search areas they could not access on foot.
As a result of these findings, there is no known risk to public safety in the area and Rainbow Park is now accessible to the public.
