On November 2nd, gunshots were fired in the area, resulting in bullet holes going through a neighbouring home and four people being taken into custody for questioning.
Three months prior, on August 2nd, police received a report of shots fired in the area, resulting in the arrest of four suspects. The group was charged with breaking into a residence and firing shots into the home.
