WINNIPEG – Police have confirmed that a Winnipeg house was showered with bullets twice in 24 hours in a feud between rival street gangs.

Two men have been arrested and are facing more than 30 firearms-related charges.

The house at 509 Seven Oaks Avenue was shot at shortly after 4 a.m. on both Monday and Tuesday. No one was hurt. A man who came to the door at 509 Seven Oaks told Global News he had no idea why the house was being shot at and denied any link to crime.
