Police say a 35-year-old man who was shot and injured in Oshawa on Sunday morning has now been charged with first-degree murder.
Durham Regional Police say they were called to an apartment near Simcoe Street South and Athol Street East sometime after 10:30 a.m. on Sunday for numerous reports of shots fired.

One victim was without vital signs and the other was in critical condition.
Both of the victims were rushed to hospital for treatment.
The man without vital signs later died in hospital.
