A 21-year-old North Bay man has been charged after a 19-year-old was shot and seriously wounded in a school parking lot overnight.
“The North Bay Police Service received a call to the parking lot of a school on Lake Heights Road in relation to the sounds of a gunshot,” North Bay police said in a news release Wednesday morning.
“When officers arrived, a 19-year-old male was found with a gunshot wound. A male that had fled on foot was located a short distance from the scene and was arrested by police.”
The victim is in hospital in serious condition.
