There were also two police cruisers parked on College Street near the Baker Street intersection.

Also on Wednesday morning, several neighbours on the quiet street were huddled together on the sidewalk across from the apartment building where the shooting took place talking about what happened the previous night, as families hustled past making their way to the nearby elementary school.

Two Greater Sudbury men were arrested in Chelmsford on Wednesday morning in connection with the shooting. They are charged with attempted murder and several weapon-related charges in the case.
