Shooting at Sudbury grocery store Thursday Two people have been charged after someone was shot at a grocery store on Notre Dame Avenue on Thursday evening.

Two males, including one young offender, were arrested Thursday evening after a shooting at a grocery store on Notre Dame Avenue in Sudbury.

Greater Sudbury Police said officers responded to a weapons complaint at 7:30 p.m.

"Information provided was that two individuals had approached a man in the self-checkout where one of the individuals shot the man," police said in a news release Friday morning.

"All the individuals involved fled including the man who was shot. The 31-year-old, man attended the hospital and was treated for serious, non-life-threatening injuries."

One of the male suspects in the case, age 22, was located at the scene and was arrested.

"However, it was determined that the individual was not the shooter," police said.

"Based on information obtained through the investigation, officers attended a residence on Baker Street. Upon arrival at the residence, officers saw an individual matching the description of the shooter outside."

The suspect immediately ran away when he saw police, but was located by the canine unit and taken into custody.

"Officers also recovered the firearm believed to have been used in the incident," police said.

The 17-year-old suspect has been charged with attempted murder, violating release conditions, and numerous weapons charges.

The young man was held in police custody overnight and will be in bail court Friday.

The second suspect has also been charged with attempted murder, as well as obstructing police and knowledge of unauthorized possession of a firearm.

He was held in custody overnight and will also be in bail court Friday.

"This was a targeted incident as the individuals involved are believed to be known to each other," police said.

"We would like to acknowledge and commend our officers and members of the 911 emergency communications centre for their quick and coordinated response to a high-risk situation where two dangerous and violent offenders were arrested and charged."
