A 31-year-old man is in hospital with serious gunshot wounds after a shooting Thursday at a known Pleasant Hill gang house.

It happened just after 8 p.m. CST in a house near Avenue N S. and 22nd Street W. Police arrived to find the wounded man on the steps.

A woman who lives nearby says she arrived home with her daughters to a familiar scene.

"Yellow tape and police," she said.

The woman asked not to be named because she fears for her family's safety. The woman said people in the house make no effort to disguise their gang allegiance.

"One morning I was going to drop my daughter off to work, beautiful sunny August morning, and there's a couple of guys on the roof with machetes, posing with their colours, and a girl's taking their picture," she said.

The house and its issues are well known to police.

In November, shots came out of a side window in the house and narrowly missed a woman sleeping in the building next door.

The bullet passed through a window, the apartment building wall, a headboard attached to a bed, then another wall before finally coming to rest in a rubber tote in a closet.

Drew Bilboe, executive director of the Saskatoon Housing Coalition, says the woman was in bed in the apartment suite and was traumatized by what happened. That incident took place around 9 a.m. CST on Nov. 21, 2019 at Canterbury Place, a coalition-owned building at 101 Avenue N S.

"She's very upset and concerned for her safety," Bilboe said.

Bilboe said it had been a violent year for people in the building.

"Late fall there was a gunfight outside. Two rival gangs were chasing each other behind the same building," he said.

"Our apartment cameras caught the two individuals running right beside our tenant, with guns."

The woman who spoke with CBC Friday says she longs for the days when the block was not so violent.

"I don't answer my door; it's really sad," she said.

"People come to my door, I just peek out. Go away, I'm not expecting anyone. I miss the days when you could say, Hey, who are you? What are you looking for? Can I help you?"

"You can't do that anymore."

Police have made no arrests in connection with the latest shooting.
