Police arrested an 18-year-old following reports of a shooting in East Gwillimbury Wednesday morning that authorities say left one person injured.

Officers were called to a residence in the area of Balsdon Hollow and Petal Avenue around 8:40 a.m. and say they arrived to find a male suffering from a gunshot wound.

Police say the suspect fled the scene in a vehicle reportedly stolen two days earlier in Toronto.

"Officers quickly located the suspect vehicle and, with support from the Air Support Unit, tracked it to the area of Sentinel Road and Finch Avenue West, in Toronto," York Regional Police stated in a release.

Police say that within an hour of the incident, the suspect was in custody and a firearm had been recovered.

The accused faces a series of firearm-related offences, plus possession of property obtained by crime and two counts of breaching probation.

It’s unclear if the suspect and victim were known to each other. The investigation is ongoing.
