Hamilton police have arrested one man and are looking for another in what investigators are calling a targeted incident at a home on the Central Mountain.
Police responded to a 9-1-1 call around 11 this morning from an individual on Brigade Drive, near Upper Wellington and Stone Church, who reported two unknown males inside the home.
Officers arrived and arrested one male at the scene but the second suspect ran off.
Police say the man was in possession of a firearm at the time of the offence, which they believed targeted.
The victim was not hurt.
A heavy police presence descended on Brigade Avenue to search for the suspect and nearby Helen Detwiler Elementary School, which has a daycare, was placed in a hold and secure before it was lifted around 1:30 pm.
Police downgraded the search in the area but say they are still actively looking for the suspect.
The man is is considered to be armed and dangerous and residents are being asked to not approach him, but instead call 9-1-1.
The suspect is described as white, in his late teens or early 20’s, 6 feet tall, with blondish hair and was wearing a blue, Blue Jays Hoodie, blue jeans and white running shoes.
