Hamilton police are investigating what they say was a targeted shooting in the city’s east end.
Shortly after 9:30 p.m. Sunday, police say officers received a 911 call reporting a shooting at a residential complex in the area of Oriole Crescent and Glengrove Avenue.
A 22-year-old Hamilton man was found suffering from non-life-threatening injuries caused by gunfire and taken to hospital, police say.
Police believe it was a targeted incident and have identified a “person of interest” in the investigation. This individual is described as five feet five inches tall and male with a slim build, and police say he was wearing a dark jacket with fur around the hood.
A dark-coloured four-door sedan may have also been involved, police say.
Residents with security cameras in that area are asked to check their footage for any suspicious activity.
