Mounties are looking for a man they say fired a gun at a home in Grande Prairie, Alta., earlier this month.
Police said, around 9:30 p.m. on Oct. 12, they received a report of shots fired at a home near the Patterson Place neighbourhood.
A man who was unknown to the residents showed up at the home and asked to speak to a man who was inside.
When the victim approached the door the man reportedly pulled out a gun and fired shots at the home after the victim had closed the door.
According to RCMP, the gunman fled in a vehicle that was parked nearby.
He is described as having:
- A medium build
- Black/brown hair

- Tattoo located on his face, near an eyebrow
He was last seen wearing a black leather jacket, brown ball cap, and light coloured collared shirt.
