Two men have been arrested in connection to a shooting that took place in Stoney Creek earlier this year.
On Jan. 16, gunfire broke out just a block away from the Stoney Creek Recreation Centre around 6:30 p.m.
The ensuing violence saw stray bullets hit nearby vehicles and buildings along King Street West and “caused a significant concern in the community,” police say.

Those living in the surrounding high-rises watched for several hours while investigators canvassed the area and searched for evidence.
Thankfully, no one was injured, and today, police say two men have been arrested in connection to the incident.
