Three men have been arrested and charged after an attempted murder of a youth in Angus, Ont. on Tuesday, police say.
OPP responded to a report of a firearm being discharged on Tuesday, officers say. An SUV was seen fleeing the scene at a high rate of speed, police say, and its licence plated was provided to officers during the call.
The young victim was treated at the scene by paramedics and was transported to the hospital afterward with non-life-threatening injuries, officers say.
