Abbotsford police say assailants may have targeted the wrong home, in a Saturday night drive-by shooting.

The house that was targeted was occupied by a family at the time of the shooting, including children, police said.

Officers were called to the home in the 32000-block of Adair Avenue around 8:20 p.m.

The resident told Global News their four- and 11-year-old children were just getting ready to watch a Christmas movie when bullets started flying.

No one was injured, but one bullet went through the family’s couch, they said.
