They continue to investigate and are looking for more security footage.

Police confirm a number of homes were damaged by gunfire.

A bullet went through Myko Gallardo's home — into a bedroom window. He says they were lucky no one was in that room at the time.

"It was the shock," he said.

"A few bullets around this area too. But if it's happening in your house, it's a different story.

"I don't know what's going on."

Gallardo said his grandmother lives with him.

"The first half an hour, she was quite in shock."

She heard the gunshots, he said.

"It's bad. I'm trying to console her. It's traumatizing for her."

He said this is the first time there's been a shooting in the neighbourhood.

"When the house with gunshots is yours, it's pretty scary," Gallardo said.

"It hasn't happened before… All of a sudden, police just knocked on our door… We didn't expect a shooting around this neighbourhood."
