Police hunt for suspects after two separate shootings

Several shots were fired in the North Preston area Friday night.

RCMP Sergeant Scott Warnica says RCMP arrived at Lake Major Road and Cain Street just after nine p.m.

“We located a male who had been shot and he was transported to hospital,” said Warnica. “One male was arrested and later released and we did seize some evidence at the scene.”

He says they’ve have had some help from witnesses however the victim, who suffered non-life threatening injuries, is not cooperating.

Meanwhile, around 2 a.m. Saturday morning police were called to the Waverly area after a drive-by shooting with an automatic pellet gun.

Sergeant Gordon Graham says a couple was outside their Andover Street home when a silver Acura pulled up.

“The passenger produced an automatic pellet gun and fired at the vehicle parked in the driveway,” he said. “Numerous shots were fired at the vehicle with the only damage being to the driver’s-side rear window.”

Nobody was injured, but police are calling it serious and are looking for the suspect.
