The two men had beenstanding at thefront of the house for about five minutes when a man bolted out the front door and ran past them. Josh said after his father gave chase, the man pulled out a gun, shot once in the air and then once at his father, whowas grazed in the stomach.

"My cousin was in the basement and he's tied up, handcuffed and the house was ransacked," said Josh. "He was kinda shaken up."

Neighbour Melanie Propptold CBC News that after hearing shots, she looked out her window to see a man dressed in black running toward Fish Creek Park, and then heard a vehicle driving at a high speed down the back alley.
