The manager of a Kanata restaurant said Saturday he didn’t hesitate to help when a young man burst into his business late Friday night saying he had been shot.
Sam Daoud was at the front desk of the Baton Rouge steakhouse at Kanata Centrum when a panicked young man burst in, clutching a sweatshirt to his stomach.
“He walked in and said, ‘I was shot,’ ” said Daoud. The man said he had been shot “in a car on the highway.”
The gunshot victim was upset, but he was walking and talking, said Daoud.
“He was totally alert. I didn’t see injuries, I didn’t see blood.” He said the man appeared to be in his 20s, about five-feet-five to five-feet-eight-inches tall and 120 pounds.
Customers and waiters brought towels and ice, and applied them to the wound, said Daoud.
Paramedics and police arrived within minutes, he said.
Two young men are in stable condition with gunshot wounds after the car they were passengers in was sprayed with bullets fired from another vehicle driving down Eagleson Road in Kanata.
The shooting occurred around 9:30 p.m. just off Highway 417. A compact black Volkswagen sedan heading west with three men inside had just turned off at the Eagleson exit and was headed south when a car approached from behind.
The Volkswagen was sprayed with bullets and two passengers were struck, according to a release from Ottawa Police Service. The driver of the target vehicle got back on the Queensway and drove to the Centrum looking for assistance.
The guns and gangs unit said in a release that the victims appeared to have been followed in the “targeted” attack. They also said they did not suspect it was related to a driveby shooting at the Centrum last September in which two people, including a 28-year-old British soldier, were injured.
They request any witnesses, particularly anyone in the area of the westbound off ramp at Eagleson Road Friday night at 9:30 p.m., to contact them at 613-236-1222, ext. 5050.
Daoud said he was puzzled why the men drove three kilometres to the shopping centre rather than calling for help closer to the place they were shot.
“I don’t know why they decided to come in here. But if anyone walked in and said, ‘I’m injured,’ of course we would help them.”
The police did not release any details about the car from which the shots were fired, other than the fact it had LED headlights. After the shooting, the suspect car headed south on Eagleson.
At breakfast at a restaurant next door to Baton Rouge with his brother and his mom Saturday morning, Arman Forouzan, 36, said he was driving home to Kanata on Friday night when his route was blocked by the closure of Eagleson. The road was closed until around 1:45 a.m. Saturday while police conducted the investigation.
He said his family found the event to be worrisome.
“I hope it doesn’t happen again, but I’ll live my life in a normal way and go where I want to go. I don’t want to let it bother me.”
Kanata resident Laurie Whittaker was strolling near the Baton Rouge with her two children, who were doing an Easter scavenger hunt at the mall. She, too, had heard news of the shooting.
“It’s concerning that it’s happening, but our first initial reaction was that it’s not a random thing, why this happened. I think it’s related to drugs and gangs.
“I chose to live in the moment, and not live in fear. Otherwise you’d be petrified, and staying at home in the basement.”
It was the 25th incident of gunplay in the city in 2018.
