Days later, yellow police tape surrounds a home on Highview Drive near Fairyview Drive, where what appear to be bullet holes shattered a front window and door.
“It’s pretty shocking,” said Huntsville resident Adam Stewart. “It’s a small town, and you know, everyone knows each other in the neighbourhood, so you know, you wouldn’t expect something like this to happen in our community.”
“I’ve lived here for 20-plus years, and I’ve never heard of anything like this before,” added neighbour Terry Snyder.
Others in the neighbourhood told CTV News they thought the gunshots they heard around 9 p.m. Friday were firecrackers.
Investigators ask anyone with information to contact them or Crime Stoppers to remain anonymous.
