Police are investigating a second shooting in Hamilton this weekend.

Officers were called to Palacebeach Trail in Stoney Creek at about 10 p.m. on Friday.

A 29-year-old man who had been shot in the torso and leg was treated at the scene and was taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
