On April 22, officers were called to a home on Overlea Drive for reports of shots fired.

"It went down pretty quickly," said Garett Ferber, who lives nearby. "All these police kind of went to this area here and they just asked for the gentleman and whoever else was in the house to come out, and they all came out peacefully."

Two people, a 27-year-old Milton man and a 19-year-old Kitchener man, were taken to hospital with gunshot wounds.

A 26-year-old Brampton man was also found with gunshot wounds, and at that time, was arrested.

Nearly two weeks after the shooting, police also arrested and charged at 27-year-old Milton man.

Of the six people arrested, three were also the ones who were shot during the incident.

Officials believe the incident was targeted, adding there is no threat to public safety.

"Knowing that police are here and taking care of it and arresting them makes me feel more comfortable," one resident tells CTV News.

Police would not say if they anticipate more arrests or charges and that the circumstances surrounding what led up to the shooting remain under investigation.

Anyone with information is asked to call police or Crime Stoppers.
