Curtis Masikewich, a resident who has lived in the area for nine years, heard the shots early in the morning but went back to sleep shortly after. He saw the police tape later that morning and noticed multiple bullets struck his house.
He described the neighbourhood as “sleepy” and quiet, filled with families and older residents.
“It’s scary. You don’t expect that to happen in a neighbourhood like this or in Calgary, but when it happens it’s a wakeup call,” he told Global News. “You definitely question some things.”
