London man sustains non-life-threatening injuries

LONDON, ON (October 17, 2025) – London police are investigating after a man was struck by pellets fired from a BB gun last night in the east end of the city.

At approximately 8:20 p.m., on Thursday, October 16, 2025, police responded to a residence in the 800-block of Shelborne Street after one of two males who entered the home uninvited, fired a BB gun at a victim, striking him a number of times.

Police were contacted after the two suspects fled the residence on foot.

Upon arrival, officers found the victim to have sustained non-life-threatening injuries. He was transported to hospital by paramedic services.

Officers learned that one of the suspects was known to the victim and determined that this was not a random incident.

Police have not yet located the suspects, and the investigation is ongoing.
