Two homes on Avenue G North were struck by bullets in recent days and Saskatoon police believe the shootings were not random.
Officers were first called to a home in the 900 block on Wednesday. The homeowner had been away for an extended period of time and returned to find several holes in his front living room window.
Police said the damage is consistent with gunshot holes and further investigation indicated that the shooting may have occurred earlier.
