Winnipeg police have arrested and charged a 34-year-old man in connection with a shooting on Bonner Avenue Sunday morning.
Police were initially called to the 300 block of Bonner Avenue shortly after 2 a.m. on Aug. 7 for reports of a shooting.
The next day, police said they identified a suspect and executed a search warrant at the suspect’s home in the 2700 block of Main Street.
Investigators were able to seize several weapons, including a 9mm Girsan Luger pistol, ammunition and spent shell casings.
On August 9, police were able to arrest a 34-year-old man from Winnipeg.
Police believe the man initially attended a party at Bonner’s home with a friend and left early. Investigators said the man returned after a friend of his had been involved in an altercation at the party.
Police said the man used a handgun and fired several rounds into the home from his car. No one was injured, but additional police rounds struck a parked vehicle and a neighboring home.
Erica Brown earlier told CTV News that she and her husband were awakened by a banging window to find a bullet hole that had gone through the front window, the dining room wall and into their office.
“It’s a bit worrying. I’m usually out on the lake, so when I get home and this happens, I want to move out,” Brown told CTV News on Sunday.
The man has been charged with discharging a firearm with intent, pointing a firearm, assault with a firearm and unauthorized possession of a firearm in a motor vehicle.
Police said he remains in custody.
THEY ARRESTED A MAN WITH A MACHINE, A SHOTGUN
Police also arrested another man in an unrelated incident after he was seen walking around with a machete on Tuesday.
At around 7.30pm, officers were called to Kildonan Place shopping center after mall security saw a man armed with a machete.
Police arrived at the scene and detained the man. The machete was found on him, as well as a sawed-off .22 rifle and ammunition.
Police believe the man was inside the mall attempting to shoplift when mall security confronted him and told him to leave. Police said he left the mall without incident.
Cale Justice Fidler, 21, of Winnipeg faces multiple firearms offenses and remains in custody.
The charges against him have not been proven in court.
