The Ottawa police guns and gangs unit is investigating an overnight shooting in the Heron Gate area of Ottawa, after a weekend in which two people were fatally shot.

Police said they received numerous calls of gunshots fired in the 2800 block of Cedarwood Drive at about 1:20 a.m. ET on Monday.

When police arrived, they found one handgun and ammunition. Shell casings and bullet holes were also found in the 200 block of Colbert Crescent.

No one was reported injured.

Record-tying 49th shooting of year

This is the 49th shooting incident reported in the city this year, tying 2014 for the most in a calendar year — and with three more months left in the year.

It comes a day after a known gang member died after being shot multiple times behind a strip mall in the Carlington area on Sunday morning, and two days after another man was fatally shot on Elmira Drive in the early morning Saturday.

Saturday's victim, 40-year-old Jacob Thompson, was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead. Abdi Jama, 26, was the victim of Sunday's shooting.

No one has been arrested in either incident and police are asking witnesses to come forward.

Ottawa police are also asking anyone with information about the two homicides to contact the major crime unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5493.

Anyone with information regarding the Cedarwood shooting is asked to call the Ottawa police's guns and gangs Unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5050.
