Brantford police are investigating after a 23-year-old was found with a gunshot wound to his upper body.
Officers responded to reports of a suspected gunshot in an alley behind a Dalhousie Street building between King and Queen Streets around 4:30 a.m.
As police continued to investigate they received a second call about a 23-year-old man at a different location who had a gunshot wound.
