Calgary police investigating a drive-by shooting in the community of Renfrew on Tuesday evening don’t believe the attack was random in nature.
Officers were called to the 1500 block of 4 Street N.E. at around 7 p.m. for reports of shots fired.
Police said it’s believed a light-coloured Honda or Toyota sedan was travelling south on 4 Street N.E. when it stopped beside a parked, newer-model, black Mercedes Benz sedan.
“The passenger in the Honda shot multiple times into the other vehicle, and then both vehicles fled south on 4 Street,” police said in a Wednesday news release.
No injuries were reported and no victims have come forward to speak with police.
Officers went door to door to speak with potential witnesses in the community.
“We never heard anything,” area resident Angelo Migliarese told Global News. “It’s kind of shocking.”
Investigators were able to locate a number of shell casings in the middle of the road.
Anyone who may have witnessed the shooting, or who has seen a Mercedes Benz with bullet holes in it, is asked to call Calgary police at 403-266-1234 or contact Crime Stoppers.
