Investigation underway after shots fired at officer 

The Windsor Police Service is investigating after shots were fired at an officer.  

Shortly after 1:30 p.m. on March 17, 2026, members of the Windsor Police Emergency Services Unit (ESU) executed an arrest warrant on behalf of another agency at an apartment building in the 300 block of Glengarry Avenue. 

As officers prepared to leave, multiple shots were fired near the east parking lot of 333 Glengarry Ave. The initial shots appeared to be directed at a uniformed officer, while additional rounds struck a police vehicle, leaving visible holes in its rear window and body. No physical injuries were reported.  

A thorough search of the surrounding area was conducted, but no suspects were located. Investigators have not yet determined whether the shots were fired from a conventional firearm or a lower-powered device such as a pellet or BB gun. 

The Windsor Police Major Crimes Unit is leading the investigation and is asking anyone who was in the area between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., or who may have dashcam or surveillance footage, to come forward.
