A man has been arrested after one person was shot in the leg in Ottawa's Little Italy neighbourhood Thursday afternoon, police say.
Police were called to Willow Street just before 2 p.m.
Heavily armed tactical officers soon surrounded a home on Jasmine Crescent, in the city's east end, where the arrest was made.
A suspect who appeared to be in his 20s was taken away in handcuffs shortly after.
The victim has non-life threatening injuries, according to police.
About half a dozen streets in the neighbourhood remained blocked off during the incident.
They have now been reopened.
