UPDATE: Gunshots fired in East Courtenay on Friday night
Comox Valley RCMP officers are investigating after gunshots rang out in East Courtenay on May 25.

Comox Valley RCMP officers are investigating after gunshots rang out in East Courtenay on May 25.

Two witnesses told reporters that shots were fired Friday night following an altercation between residents of Panorama Crescent around 11:30 p.m.

While no one was injured in the incident, a silver car was struck by at least one of the bullets. Police had the 400 block of Panorama Crescent taped off while they investigated the scene on Saturday.

“Police attended the area and were able to determine that shots had been fired and there was a vehicle that was damaged. Fortunately, nobody was hurt in the area,” said RCMP media relations officer Monika Terragni on Saturday.

Witnesses who live on Panorama spoke to reporters about the incident, highlighting a house on the street they claimed has been a problem for several years. The shooter reportedly came from that house.

Neighbour Dustin, who did not want to provide his last name, said he was the person who was shot at on Friday night. He said he had gone over to the house to confront the people there and tell them to be quiet.

“Basically they were out there yelling, swearing and fighting like they normally do every couple of days,” he said. “I went out there to calm the situation down. That didn’t go so well – I ended up getting into an altercation with them.

“I get told I’m going to get shot at. Next thing you know, as I’m walking away my car gets hit,” he added.

Terragni confirmed that RCMP has responded to calls at the house before, but could not say whether or not a case was being built against the residents.

“At this time, as the investigation is in the early stages, we do believe this was not a random act and the parties were familiar with each other,” she said.

Dustin claimed the house has been a problem for years, with dozens of people streaming in and out of it daily. He claimed there were about 25 people there on Friday night, but was uncertain how many had been arrested.

(RCMP could not confirm the number of arrests made, as of Saturday afternoon).

“This needs to get dealt with,” said Dustin. “Nothing is being done around here. They’re constantly in and out and the police don’t do anything about it.

“There are cops who have been here for eight to 10 years. They tell me they’ve known about this house for eight or 10 years. How do you not do something about it?”

Another Panorama Crescent resident and witness, Holly Dionne, told reporters that neighbours call the police or the City multiple times a week about the house. She said she’s lived next door for about six years and said illegal activity there has been a problem since she arrived.

“It’s extremely frustrating,” she said. “We call the cops constantly. A lot of neighbours have kind of given up on it because we’re always talking to them about it and they say ‘we’re aware of the situation and we know what’s going on. We’re building our case against them and doing everything we can,’ but it’s been seven years of complaints.”

Terragni said the Comox Valley RCMP’s major crimes unit is still investigating the incident with assistance from the integrated forensic identification section and general duty officers.

“This is a very serious event, especially in the Courtenay area,” she said. “We still consider ourselves still to be a small and safe town. The police take that very seriously and we do put all our resources forward to investigate the matter.”

What it didn't say was Dustin got sucker punched when he went over there and he and his buddy took four of them out. Two were knocked out cold and needed an ambulance...that's my boy! It was another junkie that came out with the gun and then took off. How does one respond to someone shooting at their kid...I'm glad I don't own a gun or we might see some real justice and I'll end up in jail. lol

Seven years that house has been a public nuisance?

WTF are the cops waiting for, them to die of old age?!
Longer - at least 10 years that I am aware of. The mayor is ex-rcmp so you know he isn't going to do anything. The municipal elections are in October - buh-bye Larry!
Given the recent acquittal of the farmer who killed the kid in Saskatchewan protecting his atv, am I not justified in killing buddy for trying to kill my son?

I do have to say you guys seem to have some very nice and easy going officers up your way.


You would NEVER see a suspect getting cuffed in that situation with such softness and grace here in MURICA.

Well you weren't there so no, it wouldn't be self defense. It would be pre meditated murder.... Apples and oranges.

But I COULD be there next time - Apples and Apples. :bigjoint: Not gonna happen anyway - I got rid of my guns years ago. lol
One doesn't need to resort to murder for revenge - or even violence. It's going to get real uncomfortable to live in that house or be a customer and they will move soon. I don't need to leave my island!

get a camera, make sure it can see license plates, record a week or so worth of business, then take it to the next city council meeting and play it for everyone....ask them why they're letting this happen, ask the mayor why is he mayor if he's allowing this to go on. make a public issue of it, with it being an election year, he'll have to respond to it or seem ineffectual.

There's a right way and a wrong way. This is the right way. Shame them publicly and that problem will be solved in a jiffy!

I may be unfairly lumping them all into the scum of the earth category. These particular ones are the lowlifes of society and offer no benefit to the community. Ive never met a junkie I could trust and this just solidifies that.
