London police say they’ve charged a 23-year-old man after a shooting Monday morning.

They say the incident happened between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. near Adelaide Street North and Piccadilly Street.

According to police, the victim visited a residence and spoke to several men who were not known to him.

That’s when one of the men took out a firearm, and the victim was shot, police say. They were treated in hospital for non-life threatening injuries.

Police say several charges have been laid against the accused, including aggravated assault, possession of a restricted firearm, and discharging a firearm with intent to wound/endanger life.

Investigators have determined this was not a random incident and there is no threat to public safety.

The investigation remains ongoing.
