The incident was first reported at approximately 2:45 p.m., with WRPS saying it was notified about potential shots in the area, sending multiple police units to the scene at the Weber Inn on King Street East.
Initially, officers stated one person sustained undisclosed injuries, but later they identified the individual as a 36-year-old man, who needed to be taken to an out-of-town hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
As of Thursday morning, WRPS is now saying it has arrested three men and one woman, ranging from 20-40 years old.
