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.
