Police are investigating multiple shooting incidents in Canberra which have left a man seriously injured and a pet dog dead.

Four shootings have taken place in the ACT in the past six days and police executed search warrants yesterday after revealing the incidents may be linked.

On Thursday, March 27, a gun was fired in a home in Greenway, south of Canberra, which left one person with injuries from the ricochet.

The following day on Friday, March 28, a gun was fired multiple times at a property in Downer, in Canberra’s inner-north.

A pet dog was killed in the shooting.

On Saturday, March 29, police responded to reports a man had been shot at a home on Knox Street in neighbouring suburb Watson.

He was taken to hospital in a serious condition after being shot in the stomach.

The offenders allegedly fled the scene in a dark car believed to be an Audi.

The same home was targeted by a shooting earlier in the week on March 25, police say.

ACT Police believe three men are responsible for all four incidents.

“Police believe these shootings are targeted incidents,” a police spokesperson said.

Search warrants took place in Belconnen and Watson yesterday.

Anyone with information is urged to contact police or call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
