A resident at a northeast London townhouse complex says she was watching television with her partner Tuesday night when she heard gunshots.

The shots were following by a female yelling for someone to call 911, said the resident, who went outside to find a man bleeding from his left arm and saying he’d been shot.

The resident, who asked not to be publicly identified, said she made a tourniquet from part of a sweater, tying it above the man’s left elbow, and elevated the his arm.

“He was in pain, freaking out,” she said, adding the man was shot in the wrist. “I was able to stop the bleeding.”

Police and paramedics soon arrived and took over, she said.

“It was really unreal – it was like a dream,” she said.

Police say they were called Tuesday at 10:20 p.m. to a townhouse complex at 1443 Huron St., east of Highbury Avenue, where they found a man with a gunshot wound. He was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

“The investigation is in its early stages, however investigators believe this is not a random act,” Const. Sandasha Bough said, adding a gun hasn’t been recovered.
