Hamilton police are seeking witnesses following a shooting in the city’s Crown Point West neighbourhood that left three people with injuries early Sunday.
Officers were called to the corner of Gage Avenue North and Cannon Street East just after 12:30 a.m., after receiving reports of a shooting involving multiple victims.
Upon arrival, officers located three victims, all males in their 50s, suffering from gunshot wounds.
Police say the victims were transported to the Hamilton General Hospital where they remain in stable condition.
There were approximately eight people in the home at the time of the shooting. No one else was injured, police say.

The suspect then fled the area on foot.
