Three people are facing attempted murder and other charges following a shooting that took place last summer in Kingston.
Kingston police say a person was shot twice with a handgun on June 2, 2019, in a home on Rideau Street.
The person’s injuries were not life-threatening, and so they did not report them to police or go to the hospital.
Despite the lack of reporting, Kingston police received information about the shooting and began investigating.
