Shots fired at Kanata house in latest Ottawa gun incident

As many as five bullets were fired at a Kanata North home early Friday in the latest shooting incident in Ottawa.
Police say a woman in the 300 block of Abbeydale Circle was woken by a loud noise at 3:30 a.m. Friday. She later noticed a hole in a bedroom window and found bullet fragments in her home.
Investigators found five bullet holes in the house.
The same quiet suburban street was the scene of a drug raid last July in which police seized a kilogram of cocaine, two stun guns and more than $15,000 in cash. Police also found a Canadian Armed Forces bulletproof vest, a handgun silencer, four shotgun rounds, a pistol grip and a foregrip kit for a shotgun, along with a cocaine press and a digital scale.
The police guns and gangs unit does not believe Friday’s shooting was a random event, police said.
It was the second such incident this week. On Tuesday, police were called to an address on Tremblay Road in Eastway Gardens, across the Queensway from St. Laurent Centre, after residents came home and discovered bullet holes in their front door. One bullet was lodged in the door frame, while two pierced through the door and into the front foyer.
No witnesses have come forward, and none of the neighbours reported hearing anything, so police remain without a suspect, motive or even an approximate time of the incident.
“No one called in. We don’t have anything else than the initial call,” said Det. Ruth Armstrong of the guns and gangs unit.
Gunfire reported earlier Tuesday near St. Laurent Shopping Centre was most likely the sounds of a car or cars backfiring, Armstrong said.
Police tracked down the man who called in the report from mall, and concluded that the absence of any bullet casings or other calls from witnesses ruled out gunfire.
Mall surveillance cameras also failed to show any sort of related foul play.
Meantime, police continue to seek a suspect in a shooting at a west-end restaurant Sunday that left one man dead and another wounded. Marwan Arab, 20, was killed and his cousin Ayyub Arab, 22, survived shots to his hand and chest.
Investigators think the intended target of the attack was Behzad Behruzi, 29, who escaped out a back door but was himself arrested Tuesday on drug and gun charges.
