“I thought it was fireworks,” he said, but when he went outside on Sunday morning he found bullet casings in his front yard.
“I’m a little scared and worried not something you want but things happen.”
Bellman said police are asking anyone with information to come forward.
“And if people in the neighbourhood have any surveillance cameras on their houses, if they come across something, contact police.”
