An unidentified man is in hospital recovering after being shot in the northeast community of Saddleridge.

Police duty inspector Paul Stacey tells 660News just after 2 a.m. Friday, officers were called to a home on Saddleland Crescent.

Stacey says at this point the victim is not co-operating with investigators.

“He was shot in the lower half of his body. It’s certainly not life-threatening … he’s up at the hospital and he’s being treated by the medical staff up there and our detectives will go up there and have a chat with him, once he’s finished with the medical staff.”

Police don’t believe the shooting was random, and the man is expected to fully recover from his injuries.

Anyone with information is asked to call police or Crime Stoppers.
