A long list of charges for a 21-year-old Hamilton man in connection with a shooting in Wasaga Beach last month that wounded a woman.

On July 14, police and paramedics responded to a 9-1-1- call for a shooting at a residence on Bianca Crescent in Wasaga Beach.

OPP officers found a woman that had suffered a gunshot wound. She was transported to a local hospital where she was treated and released with non-life-threatening injuries.

A suspect was arrested on Thursday, Aug 4.

He has been charged with:
