Two 18-year-old Londoners are facing a laundry list of charges after police arrested them Monday morning, accused of six separate shootings in three days in the city.
No injuries were reported in the shootings, but police said five different residences were shot at a number of times over the course of the weekend and into Monday morning.
The first shooting took place on Friday just before 1 a.m., when a bullet hit the front door of a home near Gatewood Road and Huron Street. Later, at 3:40 a.m., another shooting was reported at a home near Rhine Avenue and Founders Row, police said.
The next day, on Saturday, a second shooting was reported at the home near Gatewood Road and Huron Street around 8:30 p.m., where officers found evidence of gunfire. At that time, officers also saw surveillance camera footage that showed a black Jeep Cherokee was involved.
At 11 p.m. on Saturday, a shooting was reported at a home near Primrose Court and Cleveland Avenue, followed by another shooting under an hour later at a home near Banbury Road and Goodman Drive.
The final shooting was reported Monday just after 2 a.m., in the area of Kipps Lane and Arbour Glenn.
