OTTAWA — Four people are facing charges, after a home invasion on Barrette Street that involved a gun.

Police say one of the suspects entered the building with a gun, went to the victim’s door, and demanded money.
The suspect fled when it became apparent police had been called.
Police stopped a vehicle with four occupants a short time later, and found a prohibited long gun inside.
