Calgary police say a bullet that ended up embedded in a woman’s kitchen cupboard appears to have been a random shot.

Officers were called to a home on Panora Way N.W. at about 4:40 a.m. on Thursday after a woman said she’d found a bullet hole in her cupboard.

Investigators believe the bullet went through the outside walls of the home and into the cabinet.

Homeowner Celine Mini told Global News she heard shots at about 3 a.m., but didn’t hear any vehicles screeching or speeding away. She said the bullet went through a wall above the patio window at the back of her house and all the way across her kitchen.

“I noticed, OK there is a bullet,” Mini said Thursday, adding it was “scary weird.”

“Then I turned around and I said: ‘If there’s a bullet here there’s got to be a way — where did it enter?’

“That’s when I noticed the back of the house there, where it entered the house.”

Mini said police officers scoured her backyard and even climbed over a fence to try to determine where the shot was fired from.

“There were no footsteps and they couldn’t find any casings there either,” she said.

“They figured maybe a 40 calibre gun.”

The shooting isn’t believed to be targeted.
