One person has been arrested after another was injured in a shooting in Old Ottawa East early Wednesday morning.

Multiple shots rang out just after 1 a.m. ET. at the intersection of Rosemere and Springhurst avenues, not far from Immaculata High School.

Several parked vehicles were damaged, and "maybe some homes," according to Ottawa police spokesperson Const. Marc Soucy. One bullet went through the wooden backyard fence of a home at the corner of Springhurst Avenue and Concord Street.

An SUV was seen leaving the area, Soucy added.

A black SUV was later found parked at the Ottawa Hospital's General campus. It was cordoned off by officers before being towed away to a secure police compound.

Officers were waiting to speak with the victim at hospital, police said. One person has been arrested but no further details were immediately available.

'Jesus, it hurts, my leg'

Resident Rob MacDonald heard the shooting and saw an injured man get out of a vehicle, leaving a trail of blood behind him.

"I heard some shooting and got up, and a vehicle was coming around the corner, grinding, like its engine was having an engine problem. Some people say they think it had a flat tire," MacDonald said.

"It stopped in front of our house and I heard people yelling, 'Jesus, it hurts, my leg.' And then the guy jumped out of the front driver's seat, fell down, got up, stumbled along in the street, fell down again and got up, and at that point I went and called 911.

"It's interesting. It's not the first time I've had an incident like this in my life, but not here," he said, adding that there has been a stabbing or two in the area in recent years.
