The Canadian Press, 07 Jan, 2016 11:04 AM

CHILLIWACK, B.C. — Mounties in Chilliwack, B.C., believe three shootings in 10 days are connected, and they're asking for the public's help as they investigate.

Police responded to a report of a shotgun fired at a house on the morning of Dec. 24.

Two days later, shots were fired at another house a few minutes' drive away.

Early on Jan. 2, police say a 911 caller reported that a shotgun was used to strike another home just blocks from the other two houses.

Police responded immediately and confirmed the shooting, but no suspects could be found and no one has been injured.

Cpl. Mike Rail says police believe the incidents were targeted and they're hoping someone will provide more information about the shootings.
