The recent occurrence on the narrow home street is the most recent in a series of grave ones.
Police investigated a gunshot and three-car collision on Chalmers Drive in June 2021, following gunfire that occurred in the vicinity only hours apart. The drivers had engaged in combat.
A man who fired a gun on the street in February 2022 struck a man in the face and was subsequently taken into custody.
After an altercation, Daniel Nica, 45, was arrested for firing airgun pellets at his victim, injuring her lip, chest, and back many times. She needed hospital treatment, and Nica was eventually given a three-year prison sentence.
Following a Doncaster police raid in Chalmers Drive in December 2022, a 42-year-old lady and an adolescent were taken into custody on drug-related offences.
The two ladies, ages 18 and 42, were taken into custody on suspicion of possessing Class A drugs with the intention of supplying them.
Scales, bags, and cash were found along with a quantity of Class A drugs. They took out a knuckle duster as well.
