Saanich Police arrested a 22-year-old Victoria man Wednesday at a home in the 3200 block of Quadra Street.

West Shore RCMP say no charges have been laid and officers continue to search for the handgun involved in the shooting.

A 38-year-old man remains in serious condition in hospital after the shooting on Tuesday night.

Mounties say the suspects and the injured man are previously known to them. (The Canadian Press/CFAX)
