The Edmonton Police Service is investigating five shootings that happened between last Friday and Sunday.
Police say only one of the shootings resulted in injury, and the victim is expected to recover.
“I’m not here to scare Edmontonians about, they shouldn’t feel scared to leave their house and walk around. What I really want to be is transparent,” said Staff Sgt. Eric Stewart with the Guns & Gangs Section of the Organized Crime Branch.
"We have gun violence in this city. We have a high number of shooting events that occur in the city and these individuals involved in gun crime aren’t thinking about what’s behind their target when they’re shooting these guns. They’re very careless, they’re very reckless, they have no consideration for the public.”
Around 11:55 p.m. on Oct. 14, officers responded to a report of a shot fired in the area of 114 Street and 17 Avenue SW.
It was reported to police that a shot was heard and a vehicle was seen leaving the area.
Police found a bullet hole in the exterior of a home, but no injuries were reported.
