AJAX -- Police have made an arrest in a shooting spree that left four young men in Ajax wounded.
Durham detectives, backed up by members of the Tactical Support Unit, arrested an 18-year-old man at an address on Devine Drive in Whitby Saturday. The bust came after an intensive investigation launched in the wake of the shootings, outside a house party on Harkins Drive in Ajax just after midnight Aug. 23.
Several cars were seen fleeing the area after the shooting which left four men with gunshot wounds that required treatment at hospital. Durham police said Tuesday the investigation is ongoing.
Arrested Saturday was Anthony Green of Devine Drive. He’s charged with weapons offences including discharging a firearm with intent as well as four counts of aggravated assault.
