Windsor police have issued a warrant for one suspect and arrested three people in connection with an assault involving a firearm.
Officers were first called to a disturbance at a business on Campbell Avenue at around 10:30 p.m. on October 26, where a person was reportedly suffering from serious injuries.
According to police, the victim had been lured to a home nearby, where they were allegedly assaulted by three men and a woman.
Investigators allege that the victim was confined inside the home. While there, a suspect allegedly pointed a handgun at them, threatened to kill them, and fired a round into the floor near their feet. The victim was also reportedly assaulted with multiple weapons and sexually assaulted.
After escaping the home, the victim was taken to the hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
