Three men in their 50s were taken to hospital after an early morning shooting in Hamilton’s east end.
Police are now looking for one suspect described as an Asian man wearing red pants and a red hoodie.
The shooting happened shortly after 12:30 Sunday morning at the corner of Gage Avenue North and Cannon Street East.
Three men with gunshot injuries were discovered by the responding officers at the scene and taken to hospital, where they remain in stable condition.
“I heard three gunshots,” Lisa Haas, a nearby resident, recalls. “I heard someone scream please ‘call the cops,’ I took off went around the corner with my husband, [then] called 911.”
Police haven’t released any details on which house the shooting broke out in, but say approximately eight people were inside the home when it began.
They believe the suspect, a man, attended the address looking for a specific person.
According to police, the three victims then told the suspect to leave before the disturbance escalated into a shooting.
The shooter then fled on foot in an unknown direction.
The gunman is described as an Asian man who was wearing a red pants and a red hoodie.
This marks the city’s 26th shooting.
