Police are investigating a Friday afternoon shooting in east Hamilton that sent a man to hospital with a serious leg injury.
Detectives say the 38-year-old was found around 4:30 p.m. by emergency services during a call about a man with a “life-threatening injury” at the Red Rose Motel located on Queenston Road near Redwood Court.
“The male was transported to hospital and it was determined by medical staff that the male was suffering from a gun shot wound to the leg,” a police spokesperson said in an email.
The man’s prognosis was later upgraded to “non-life threatening injuries,” according to police.
