Ottawa police say their guns and gangs unit is investigating a shooting at a Nepean home on Thursday evening.
In a statement on Friday, the police service said the homeowner of a residence in the 1-100 block of Meadowlands Drive called 911 after a bullet hole had been found inside.
A spokesperson for short-term rental platform Airbnb confirmed in a statement that the home in question is listed on its site.
“The reported violence is abhorrent and has no place in the Airbnb community,” the statement said.
