‘We've had no threats': Law firm operator believes bullet hole was not meant for his business

The operator of a London law firm hit by at least one bullet believes his business was not the target. Phil Millar of Millars Lawyers told CTV News London he is unsure why a window in the third-floor office he leases was hit by gunfire sometime after 11 p.m. Tuesday. 'We've had no threats I'm aware of,' he said during a brief telephone conversation. London police were called to 1886 Oxford St. W., at the intersection with Westdel Bourne, shortly after 8:30 a.m. Wednesday. An employee had noticed the bullet hole.

A retail worker at a nearby business stated police investigators were on the scene for several hours. He added a drone was also flown over the office building several times. Meanwhile, a business owner in the same office complex as the shooting stated he was unnerved by the incident, adding such occurrences are uncommon in the upscale area. The case marks the second time in less than a week that police have assigned a shooting case to its Guns and Gangs Section. On Friday, June 13, officers responded to an address on Emerald Road after a garage and a vehicle were struck by bullets.
