Officers arrived on scene and found a 22-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and has since been released.

Rebaz Resh, 31, and Youcef Guendouz, 32, were arrested near the scene and charged with firearms-related offences. At the time, the men were not charged with the shooting.

On Friday, Hamilton police revealed charges against the pair had been upgraded.

Resh is now facing eight charges including attempt to cause death with a firearm, aggravated assault causing a wound, and discharge firearm with intent to wound.

Guendouz is charged with aggravated assault causing a wound, assault with a weapon, occupant of a vehicle with a weapon, and discharge firearm with intent to wound.
