Two New Westminster men have been charged with attempted murder in connection with a shots-fired call earlier this month.

Police were called to 9th Street near St. Andrews Street to reports of a shooting on July 22.

Officers arrived to find several people on scene, but no one with any obvious injuries.

On Tuesday, police said two people were arrested late last week — both of whom are facing several charges.

Ahmed Tahir, 18, and Matin Ghulam, 23, are each charged with attempting to commit murder, discharging a firearm and possession of a restricted firearm.

New Westminster police said the investigation remains ongoing.
