Daytime shootout in Hamilton captured on video

Police are asking for the public’s help identifying two men who were captured on video firing shots at each other across a street in Hamilton last month.

The incident occurred in the area of Sanford Avenue North and King Street East on Aug. 10 at 7 p.m.

In the six-second dashcam footage, a man in a black hoodie is seen walking away from two people on the sidewalk and then pulling out a gun and firing at them.

One of the people on the sidewalk brandishes a gun and returns fire, shooting towards the man on the road several times. The man in a black hoodie runs away as he continues to exchange gunfire with the man on the sidewalk.

A third peson is seen in the video caught in the crossfire and was “used as a human shield,” police said. He was not physically injured and investigators are now looking to speak with him as a witness.
