Two men are in custody and firearms, including a semi-automatic rifle, are off the street in relation to an August 2020 shooting where a 19 year-old suffered serious injuries in Brampton.

On Aug. 22, 2020 at about 7:50 p.m., police were called to a business on Hale Road, near Glidden Road in Brampton for reports of shots fired.

A 19-year-old victim had been engaged in a physical fight with two other suspects and he was later shot.

The suspects fled the scene in a car and the victim was rushed to a hospital trauma centre for treatment.

Months later, police said they executed two separate search warrants in Mississauga and Brampton.

In the course of both searches, firearms including an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, a handgun, two overcapacity magazines and two shotguns were allegedly seized.
