Shane Thompson, whose vehicle was hit by the gunfire, said he didn’t realize there was a shooting in his neighbourhood until he saw it on the news.

“We were woken up around midnight by the sound of firecrackers going off,” Thompson said. “We assumed it was just a party or something going on in the night, we didn’t think too much of it.

“This morning I woke up and was reading the news and saw the photo on the news and realized that’s our car.”
