We now know why residents of a neighborhood in Picton were told to “shelter in place” and lock their windows and doors early holiday Monday.
Just after 2 a.m. police were called to an address on Union Street.
Police say a firearm had been discharged and one person had been taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
The OPP’s Tactics and Rescue Unit, Emergency Response Team and Canine Unit conducted a search of the area.
Officers believe it was not a random attack and that there is no risk to the general public.
OPP continue to investigate the incident and ask anyone with information, or who has potentially relevant doorbell or dashcam video, to call Prince Edward OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477(TIPS).
