3 Arrested After Gun Fired During Guelph Parking Lot Fight: Police | The Canadian News

Guelph police say three people were arrested after a gun was fired during a fight early Saturday morning.

Officers were called to a strip club in the Silvercreek Parkway and Waterloo Avenue area just before 2:30 a.m. to receive reports of a fight in the parking lot.

“The investigation revealed that there was a physical confrontation in the parking lot during which a man brandished a firearm and whipped another with a pistol,” police said in a press release. “Shots were fired during the altercation, but there were no reports that anyone had been shot.”

The service added that a man was treated at the scene for minor injuries.

Police said they were able to identify two men and a woman, leading to a search warrant being served later that night at an apartment on Vanier Drive.

During the search warrant, police said a 9mm pistol was found.

A 29-year-old man has been arrested and charged with firing a firearm, unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a dangerous weapon, and possession of ammunition.

Police also announced that a 31-year-old Guelph man and a 23-year-old Oshawa woman are also facing firearms-related charges.

“In total, 32 criminal charges were filed,” police said. “The three defendants were held for bail hearings on Monday.”

Police added that the shooting was the second outside the club in October. Just before 2 a.m. on October 2, a man was shot during a fight.

The victim of that shooting was released from the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery, police said. In that case, no arrest has been made.

The service added that the two shootings are not connected.
