Police laid an attempted murder charge in connection with an investigation in Huntsville involving a dispute between two people where witnesses reported hearing a gunshot.

Provincial police were called to a property on South Lancelot Road near Old Muskoka Road north of Utterson on Sept. 19 around 2:20 p.m. and quickly mobilized the OPP helicopter and K9 team for the investigation.

Police said one person suffered minor injuries and was treated and released from a local hospital. They did not provide details of the individual's injuries.
