Burlington Police are now looking for a man in connection with an early morning shooting in the 300 block of Angular Street.
On August 23 at approximately 3:56am, officers were dispatched to the 300 Angular housing complex in response to a complaint of shots being fired. Officers later located a vehicle that had evidence that it had been struck by recent gunfire.
