A 28-year-old man is in hospital recovering from a gunshot wound after a home invasion Tuesday morning — the fourth violent home invasion in Edmonton this month.

"It was reported that three males dressed in black clothing entered a residence, deployed bear spray and shot one person in the home," police said in a news release.

"At this time, police believe this was a targeted incident."

Police responded to a "trouble not known" call at a home near 120th Avenue and 125th Street just after 7 a.m.

The victim was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. No other occupants of the home were injured.

Police continue to investigate.

Tuesday's home invasion was the fourth such incident this month, one of which included a death.

On Oct. 10, two men armed with a firearm entered a home on 119th Avenue and 49th Street around 4:45 a.m. One of four occupants of the home sustained non-life threatening injuries.

On Oct. 6, a man suffering from a gunshot wound staggered into a Second Cup coffee shop at 7411 101st Ave. He told police his assailants were three masked men who came into his friend's home nearby.
