A firearms investigation is underway by London police and only one of two suspects has been found.

Police did find evidence that a firearm had been discharged but there were no reported damages or injuries.

After reviewing surveillance video, officers identified two people believed to be involved which led them to a home where they found a sawed-off shotgun.

A 22-year-old suspect was arrested and charged and police are still looking for the second.

A 27-year-old of London is wanted by way of warrant for possess firearm other than restricted or prohibited firearm, careless storage of firearm, weapon, prohibited device or ammunition and possession of a firearm or ammunition contrary to prohibition order.
