Ottawa Police say a man who was shot in the leg Thursday evening was not the intended target of what they believe was a targeted attack.
Police and Ottawa Paramedics were called to the 1400 block of Heatherington Road, just east of Albion, at around 8:16 p.m.
The 20-year-old victim was treated at the scene before being rushed to the trauma centre with serious injuries, paramedics said.
Ottawa Police decribe his injuries as "non-life threatening."
Police said Friday bullets also hit two homes in the area.
The Guns and Gangs Unit is investigating. So far, no suspects have been located.
