Ottawa Police were busy investigating the scene of a shooting for the second day in a row Monday, this time outside of a home on Debra Ave.

The window of the town house, at 61 Debra Ave., clearly showed signs of being shot at. At least one bullet hole pierced the lower portion of the window and another hole shattered the upper pane.

Monday night an officer was trawling through the grass looking for spent shell casings while a colleague was inside taking measurements.

Neighbours who live nearby and didn't want to be named said they heard a gunshot before watching at least two people flee sometime in the afternoon.

A man who lives less than 100 metres from the shooting said the area is full of gang activity.

"It's the ghetto, the poor-end," he said, adding he's only lived in the area for two weeks and he's "seen enough."

It's the second shooting in the area in as many weeks.

On Nov. 19, a 23-year-old man was charged with discharging a firearm after a gun was fired at a car in the 900 block of Debra Ave. just before 1 p.m. the day before.

No one was injured in that incident, but neighbours told the Sun they were concerned for children in the area, who could get hit by a stray bullet.

On Monday, neighbours said they saw a car, possibly a beige Dodge Charger, peeling away from the scene.

Police did not confirm the details of the shooting or if there were any suspects in the case.

Nobody is believed to have been injured in the incident.
