Calgary police are trying to determine if two shootings in the city’s southwest this spring may be related.

The first happened at a house in the 0-100 block of Springbank Mews S.W. on March 16.

A couple living in the home called police at around 6 a.m. after hearing shots fired. They exited their home to find it peppered with what appeared to be shotgun blasts.

Homeowner Andrew Li said at the time he had no idea why his home would be targeted, saying he was sure it was a case of “mistaken identity.”
