Officers were called to a portion of the city near Mooney’s Bay for a report of gunfire in early April.
It happened around 2:28 p.m. in the 2800 block of Riverside Drive. While on scene, police determined that a gun had been discharged. Through the investigation, which spanned April 2 and 3, officers tracked down and arrested two people and arrested them in connection with the incident.
The two men, aged 27 and 30, are facing charges of:
- Careless use of a firearm
- Reckless discharge of a firearm
- Possession of a restricted or prohibited firearm without a valid licence and registration
- Possession of a loaded firearm
Police are asking anyone with information related to the incident to contact them at 613-236-1222, ext. 5050.
This comes just after Ottawa’s force, with Ontario Provincial Police, seized multiple guns from a 23-year-old in the city’s south end.
In a statement, officials said they laid multiple charges after finding and taking a 12-gauge double-barreled sawed-off shotgun, a 12-gauge shotgun, ammunition and a cell phone.
The accused is expected in court again on April 23 to face the offences.
