Two people have been charged after a man was shot in Mandurah early on Sunday morning.
Police were called after a 35-year-old man arrived at Peel Health Campus with a gunshot wound on his arm, before being taken to Fiona Stanley Hospital to be treated for his injuries, which a police spokesperson described as serious but non-life-threatening.
Police allege the man was confronted by another man who was known to him outside a home on Exchequer Avenue in Greenfields, in Mandurah’s east, about 7.40am on Sunday when he was shot.
“As a result of inquiries, detectives executed a search warrant at an address in Coodanup later that day, where firearm related parts were allegedly located and seized,” the police spokesperson said.
“Two people were arrested and taken into custody.”
A 39-year-old Coodanup man has been charged with seven offences, including unlawful wounding, pointing a firearm at another person, unlawfully posessing a handgun or firearm, and posessing methamphetamine.
A 36-year-old woman, also from Coodanup, faces five charges, including possessing drugs with intent to sell or supply, possessing drug paraphernalia, and possessing ammunition while not authorised by a licence or permit.
The 39-year-old man was due to face Perth Magistrates Court on Monday, while the 36-year-old woman was bailed to appear before Mandurah Magistrates Court at a later date.
