Hamilton Police are looking for an armed and dangerous male that threatened a short term rental property manager when he fired a shot into the ceiling before leaving.

On August 9, 2020, three males arrived at a short term rental on Aberdeen Avenue in Hamilton. Within a short time, there were complaints from other residents that they were causing a disturbance. The property manager attended to evict them. One of the males pulled out a shotgun and pointed it at the property manager and then fired into the ceiling, damaging a light fixture. All males then exited and no one was hurt. They were seen driving away in a grey SUV, possibly a Toyota.

The alleged shooter in this incident has been identified and is now wanted for various firearms offences, including the reckless discharge of a firearm, point firearm and various other offences relating to this incident.
