One person is in hospital, and a suspect remains at large, following a shooting near downtown Ingersoll.
OPP officers responded to the scene near Thames Street South shortly after noon Sunday.
The owner of a pick-up truck was working at a business when he saw a man in his vehicle.
An argument turned physical, and the suspect used a firearm to shoot the victim before taking off in his truck, police said.
The victim was taken to hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.
The suspect then crashed into another vehicle at the corner of Cockshutt Road and Concession 2 in Norfolk County, police said.
