Ottawa police are looking for four teenagers who they say shot a kayaker with a pellet gun at Mooney's Bay beach.
Police say the 60-year-old kayaker was out on the water at 4 p.m. Sunday, about 30 metres from the shore, when something hit his left forearm.
The kayaker told police four Caucasian teens, which he estimated were between 16 and 18 years old, then began to walk away from the shore.
One of those teenagers was wearing a black and red checkered shirt, the others mostly dressed in black.
The kayaker returned to the Rideau Canoe Club then he was taken to hospital to have the pellet removed.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Ottawa police guns and gangs Section at 613-236-1222, ext. 5050, or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.
