Police say one person has been sent to hospital following a shooting on Hamilton’s west side Thursday morning.
Spokesperson Const. Krista-Lee Ernst said officers were called out to a location at Old Guelph and York Roads just after 9:30 a.m. on Thursday morning.
Upon arrival, a 22-year-old man was discovered with serious but non-life threatening injuries.
Hamilton Paramedics say the injured male was in serious but stable condition as a result of wounds consistent with those from a firearm.
“Shortly after police arrived on scene, two adult males 31 and 32 were arrested for firearm related charges,” said Ernst.
