A 25-year-old Hamilton man who was shot after letting a six-year-old child play with his gun is facing charges, police say.
A 15-year-old suspect is also facing charges in a daylight shooting across from Lime Ridge Mall on Sept. 1. Police released video of that incident as well, where someone can be seen walking behind another individual before gunshots are heard. No one was struck or injured, police said. In announcing the arrests, police also identified two suspects and released the images of several others wanted in connection with the string of shootings.
Hamilton police’s shooting response team started as a year-long pilot aimed at investigating non-lethal shooting across the city, but was made permanent in March following an “increase in shooting incidents.” To date, they have arrested 30 suspects and laid 196 charges in investigating those incidents.
