Edmonton police are investigating a second drive-by shooting in the same west Edmonton area Sunday.
First, EPS were called to a residence in the area of 159 Street and 107A Avenue at 8:46 a.m. after the house was sprayed with bullets from the back by an unknown male suspect.
The family was inside but no one was injured, police said.
Investigators believe the suspect got the address wrong. A west division officer told CTV News the family has no criminal history.
The second shooting happened at 3:54 p.m., in the area of 161 Street and 107A Avenue. A woman – who says she heard the morning shooting – was inside the home at the time.
“Now, when they came back a second time, there was two in the back, and one in the front,” she said. “When they shot, they were just laughing and yelling.”
Neighbours told CTV News they have seen signs of trouble at the second house. But the woman who lives in the house doesn’t know what happened.
“I didn’t know what was going on,” she said. “I don’t know these people. My boys don’t know them.”
Police do not have any suspects in custody at this time.
Police said they believe the two shootings are connected and are searching for a white SUV, possibly a GMC Terrain. Witnesses reported seeing a young white male with blonde hair driving the vehicle, which was seen fleeing both shooting scenes.
Anyone with information about these shootings or the whereabouts of the suspect vehicle can contact EPS at 780-423-456.
