There was another shooting in Ottawa on the weekend. That's four in less than a month.
Early Sunday morning, a 19-year-old man was shot in the leg at a municipal parking lot on Third Avenue near Bank Street in the Glebe.
Ottawa police say it was the result of a fight that originally started in a bar in Gatineau.
According to police, a group of about 30 youths had chartered a bus to Gatineau's bar strip for a night of fun. At one of the bars, some of the youths reportedly got into an argument with four men.
Police say three of the men followed the bus back to the parking lot in the Glebe. There, they say, there was another argument, and that's when the shooting started.
The injured man has been treated and released from hospital. Police are still searching for the suspects.
On Dec. 6, two men were shot to death in the Fullhouse Karaoke Tea Cafe on Somerset Street in Chinatown. The victims were Chinese students living in Ottawa and attending Algonquin College. Police have issued a Canada-wide warrant for the arrest of Fu Kwok Wei, 27, of Vancouver, as a suspect in the shooting.
Police have also been investigating a drive-by shooting in the city's west end on Dec. 13. No one was injured. A house was hit by shotgun pellets.
On Nov. 24, late at night, a man in his 20s was shot in the chest at a home on Baycrest Drive near the Herongate Mall. This followed an earlier fight in the Byward Market. The victim was hospitalized with a serious injury. Police have no suspects in the case.
