Ottawa police are looking for information about three shootings that took place in various parts of the city over the weekend.

Police were first called to the area of McArton and Ashton Station roads Friday just before 1 p.m. to respond to reports of gunshots.

The mailbox of the person who made the call had been shot, and casings were found but no one was injured, police say.

Two days later, around 6 p.m. Sunday evening, police were responded to reports of gunshots in the St-Laurent Boulevard and Thurston Drive area. An hour later, officers responded to a gunshot call in the Richmond and Assaly roads area.

Shell casings were found in both cases, but no property damage. No one was injured in the latter two shootings either.
