A person has been charged with attempted murder and two counts of aggravated assault after three people were injured following a disturbance late Saturday night at an apartment building in Omemee.
Officers from the City of Kawartha Lakes detachment of the OPP remain on scene to investigate the incident but, according to a media release issued this evening, there is no threat to public safety.
Police responded to a disturbance call at 10:30 p.m. and three people were found injured at the apartment building and subsequently taken to an area hospital. One person was later transported to a Toronto-area trauma centre.
