“Overall I have a concern about the uptick in gun violence in Calgary,” Staff Sgt. Quinn Jacques told reporters.

“These drive-by-style shootings are meant to intimidate people and can often cause harm,” Jacques said.

Officers executed a search warrant at a home in the 1700 block of 28th Street S.W. on May 5th, and seized two handguns, two rifles, a shotgun, and illicit drugs.

Police charged David Robert Aeichele, 33, of Calgary, with two counts of possession of a controlled substance, two counts of careless storage of a firearm, and seven counts of possession of a weapon contrary to a prohibition order.

Eric Michael Hebert, 33, of Calgary, was charged with 11 counts of trafficking firearms.
