Halifax police are investigating a report of a shooting at the Stardust Motel, where a bullet hole was found in a room door early Saturday.

Halifax Regional Police said someone staying at the motel on the Bedford Highway reported hearing several gunshots at about 2 a.m.

The tenant called police about an hour later when he spotted what he believed to be a bullet hole in a door.

Police confirm that it was indeed a bullet hole, but said the room was empty and no one was hurt.

A number of police officers, including members of the forensic identification section, are at the scene.
