Waterloo Regional Police announced over the weekend that a Kitchener man was arrested last week in connection with a shooting incident in the Country Hills neighbourhood in March.

Police say the 24-year-old man was arrested on Thursday in Milton and is facing multiple firearm-related charges.

This is the second arrest that has been made in connection with the incident as a 22-year-old man, also from Kitchener, was arrested in August.

Police seized a restricted .45 calibre handgun at the time.

The initial incident occurred on March 23 near Block Line Road and Country Hill Drive at around 1 a.m.

While it was reported that a witness saw a dark-coloured vehicle speeding away from the scene, officers say the occupants said someone was shooting at their car before they fled on foot.
