23 Bullets Strike Regina Home, Girl Injured in Attack
Targeted Shooting in Eastview
A Regina family is reeling after 23 bullets tore through their Eastview home in the early hours of August 11, leaving their 11-year-old daughter injured. Police confirmed Wednesday that the attack was targeted.
Family’s Frightening Ordeal
The girl’s father, who asked not to be named for safety reasons, said one bullet entered his daughter’s bedroom, striking her in the side. Three bullets entered his own bedroom, narrowly missing him and his wife.
“My wife panicked. She started screaming, running around,” he recalled in an interview.
Child’s Recovery After Surgery
The girl was rushed first to a Regina hospital, then transferred to Saskatoon for surgery. Doctors inserted a chest tube to treat internal injuries. The father said his daughter is now back in school, though the family has since relocated out of fear.
Charges Laid Against Two Men
On Wednesday, Regina police announced that two men — 20-year-old Anthony Nahbexie and 18-year-old Devon Nahbexie — have been charged with attempted murder, reckless discharge of a firearm, and conspiracy to commit murder. Both appeared in Regina Provincial Court the same day.
Police Reassure the Community
Acting Police Chief Lorilee Davies told reporters the shooting was not random.
“It was a targeted location,” Davies said. “For people in the community, I would reassure them that it is a safe neighbourhood.” Police continue to investigate and are urging anyone with video or information to come forward.
Neighbours Express Fear
Muhammad Ishaq, a neighbour, said the shooting has unsettled the community. He has known the injured girl since childhood and remembers her playing with his daughter.
“Everybody feels unsafe. We didn’t expect this would happen here,” Ishaq said.
