Oshawa man charged with attempted murder

A 24 year old Oshawa man is facing multiple
charges including three counts of attempted murder in connection with an altercation with police on Boxing Day.

Shortly afterwards, the man allegedly drove a vehicle out of the business and was shot.

He was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

None of the officers were hurt and the province’s Special Investigations Unit is now probing the incident.

Shawn Jonathan Alves faces a total of 23 charges including break and enter and assault with a weapon.

He has been held in custody until a bail hearing.
