Ottawa police are looking for three men who allegedly broke into a Barrhaven home last weekend and shot one of the residents.

Officers were called to the home on Woodroffe Avenue south of Cresthaven Drive at 4:41 a.m. on Sept. 7, police said Wednesday in a media release.

When they arrived, they found a man suffering from non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.

The three suspects had all been wearing disguises and ran away before they could be apprehended. They also stole various items from the man's home, police said.
