Police are looking for two suspects, following what they believe to be a “targeted” shooting on Hamilton Mountain.
Investigators say they were called to the area of Upper Wentworth Street and Emperor Avenue at about 9:30 p.m. Friday, and located a man who had sustained a single gunshot wound to his leg.
A citizen had called 911 to report the possible sound of gunshots.
Paramedics responded and treated the 22-year-old victim at the scene before he was transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
