Two young Centretown-area women have been charged with various gun-related offences after shots were fired in southeast Ottawa in the wee hours of the morning Feb. 28.
At about 1 a.m. Feb. 28, police received a call about shots being fired at a residence in the 2400 block of Walkley Road.
No one was injured by the shots, according to a statement released by Ottawa police.
The two suspects fled the home before police arrived.
An investigation by the guns and gangs unit led police to obtain a warrant to search a home in the 100 block of Willow Street, just east of Rochester Street.
Police carried out the warrant at around 8 p.m. on Feb. 28, and arrested two women.
Ariel Garley, 20, of Ottawa, has been charged with nine offences, including possession of a firearm obtained by crime, assault and discharging a firearm and being reckless as to the life or safety of another person.
Caitlyn Powder-Morin, 19 and also of Ottawa, is accused of being an unlicensed person possessing an unregistered firearm and possessing firearm knowing no authority.
Both accused are scheduled to appear in court March 2.
