Oshawa: A 23-year-old man is facing charges after a shotgun was fired inside his residence and some of the projectiles struck his neighbour’s house.
On Sunday, July 28 at 2 am, members of Central East Division responded to a residence after a neighbour found what appeared to be a buckshot pellet on her bedroom floor.
Further investigation led investigators to the suspect’s home next door where a shotgun was discharged. The projectiles travelled through several walls of his home before striking his neighbours home. There were no injuries.
A search warrant was executed at the residence where the shotgun was discharged and officers seized drugs in the residence. The firearm was not located and the investigation is ongoing.
