A 17-year-old boy, a 14-year-old girl and a 12-year-old girl have been charged in a Cambridge shooting.

On Sunday, at around 2:30 a.m., the three teens met up with a 22-year-old man near Water Street North.

Waterloo Regional Police said they got into his car, there was some sort of altercation while the car was moving and the man was shot.

The vehicle then went off the road and ended up in the Grand River at Water Street North and Dando Avenue.

The teens got out the partially submerged car, leaving the injured man behind.

Emergency services arrived close to 3 a.m. and the victim was taken to hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.

On Sunday, the car was pulled out of the Grand River.

Police identified the three Kitchener teens a few days later.

“On Aug. 21, members of our robbery units executed three warrants and three youths were arrested as a result of this incident,” Const. Chris Iden said.

Police recovered one gun and ammunition during the arrests.

The teens are all charged with robbery with a firearm and aggravated assault, as well as other gun-related offences.
