A first-year law student has been arrested after shots were fired in a dormitory Saturday morning at York University. Police were called to 360 Assiniboine Rd., located on the southern boundary of the campus around 6:45 a.m. Police said someone fired a shotgun at the door, causing projectiles to go through the door and into the apartment. Someone was in the apartment at the time but didn’t suffer any injuries. During investigation, police learned that the female resident of the apartment had issues with the door and its lock. We believe that somebody was tampering with her door, but we don’t know the reasons why, Det. Sgt. Al Coulter told a news conference Thursday. Andrew MacDonald, 35, is charged with three counts of mischief, two counts of attempt break and enter and five other weapons-related charges. MacDonald appeared in court Thursday and is scheduled for another court date next week, but police are requesting a three-day remand for further investigation. Upon his arrest, police seized a 12 gauge Remington 870 shotgun. [x]
