At around 8:47pm police were called to an firearms incident on Furrow Drive which is just a stones throw from the Westwood Park Community Primary School off Parrin Lane in Winton.
Police say that two people walked into a residence on the street and shot a man in his 20's with a handgun.
The man was taken to hospital for treatment via ambulance and fortunately his injuries are thought to be non life threatening.
A witness described hearing a loud bang whereupon not long after police swarmed the area, the street was quickly taped off as forensics officers investigated the scene, the cordon remains in place this morning.
