Youth, 2 adults face charges in connection with daytime shooting in East Hamilton

Two adults and a 15-year-old are facing charges in connection with a brazen daytime shooting in Hamilton’s east end on Monday.

Police say the three are tied to a shots-fired incident near Grimsby and Britannia Avenues, just outside a children’s daycare.

Investigators say an altercation just after 4:30 p.m. between “a group of individuals” spurred on the firing of the gun.

It’s believed to be a targeted shooting.

There were no reported injuries.

The youth, who cannot be named due to his age, is facing six charges, including careless use and possession of a firearm.

Meanwhile, a 35-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman, have also been charged following the execution of a search warrant at a residence connected to the shooting suspect.
