A 40-year-old man is in hospital after being shot during an incident in John Hughes early on Sunday.

Police identified the injured man as Kenroy Telemacque. He was struck in the right buttock and taken to hospital, where doctors carried out scans and X-rays to determine the extent of his injuries.

Officers have not yet confirmed whether the gunfire came from law enforcement or another individual. Initial reports suggest Telemacque may have been attempting to break into a private home when he was shot.

Hospital officials said he is in stable condition, though further medical updates are expected.

Police say their investigation into the circumstances of the shooting is continuing.
