A shooting in Kitchener put a Milton man in the hospital.
The shooting happened in Kitchener’s Forest Hill neighbourhood on Thursday evening. Waterloo Regional Police says it found the 27-year-old Milton man and a 19-year-old Kitchener man with gunshot wounds. A 26-year-old Brampton was also found with gunshot wounds.
All three males were transported to hospital by Region of Waterloo Paramedic Services with serious and critical injuries.
An investigation has led the Waterloo Police to believe that a group of individuals arrived in a vehicle and a home invasion occurred. Two males entered the residence and multiple firearms were discharged while inside the residence.
Two of the men at hospital are believed to be the males who entered the residence.
Police have arrested the 26-year-old Brampton man. Further arrests and charges are expected as the investigation is ongoing.
Investigators say this is a targeted shooting.
