In a tweet posted on August 26, just a few minutes before 6 a.m., Ottawa Police Service (OPS) Operations reported that they responded to a call about a shooting in the 0-100 block of York Street at around 2:20 a.m.

Ottawa paramedics told CTV News Ottawa that they brought three people to the Ottawa Hospital in serious condition with gunshot wounds. However, the injuries are reportedly not considered life-threatening.

Witnesses told the publication that they heard many gunshots, and saw people lying on the ground with gunshot wounds.

In the tweet, OPS said the investigation is ongoing.

A spokesperson for OPS had no additional details for Narcity regarding what happened early this morning but shared that a release will be issued later today.
