Sudbury police are investigating two serious incidents, a shooting and assault, that happened within a block of each other downtown over a 12-hour period.

Officers were called to the Randolph Centre on the corner of Cedar and Paris Streets around 8:45 p.m. Wednesday after a man was shot in a basement apartment.

"Upon arrival, officers located a 19-year-old man with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. He was transported to the hospital by City of Greater Sudbury Paramedic Services," Greater Sudbury Police Service said in a news release Thursday morning.

Two men got into an altercation at the apartment resulting in the victim being shot, police said.
