Three suspects are in custody in connection with a shot fired early Saturday morning in a northwest apartment.
It was just before 2 a.m. when people in a unit in the building heard the sound of a gunshot and were startled when a bullet came through their ceiling moments later.
Duty Inspector Chris Butler tells 660News, police responded to the call in the 6200 block of Bowness Road N.W. and evacuated the building before looking for suspects.
“We made contact with the occupants of that apartment,” he said, of the suspects who they believed to be behind the shot fired. “They exited and were taken into custody and upon clearing the apartment we have located a sawed off shotgun within the apartment.”
Butler adds, the motivation for the shot is not yet known and the suspects are well-known to police.
