WILDWOOD, VIC. — Police have charged a 56-year-old Wildwood man following a shooting on Wednesday night.
A 37-year-old Meadow Heights man was allegedly shot in the torso following a dispute with the occupants at a property on Wildwood Road about 7.20pm on August 19.
A 56-year-old Wildwood man was arrested on August 20 and has since been charged with one count of intentionally causing serious injury.
He appeared before the Magistrates’ Court last night, where he was remanded to reappear at a later date.
