A 25-year-old man was shot in Valleyfield, P.E.I.

Kings County RCMP received a call Sunday at about 5 a.m. to go to a home on Valleyfield Road.

The man has serious injuries and was taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Charlottetown, but was later transferred to a Halifax hospital.

A male, 26, has been arrested. Police have also seized a firearm believed to have been used in the shooting.

Police expect to be at the crime scene for the entire day.

“As for the scene, it has been secured and investigation is ongoing there and probably will last for the whole day,” said RCMP Sgt. Leanne Butler.

CBC News spoke with people at neighbouring homes and they said they didn't hear any gunshots.

This is the second shooting near the small community of Montague since August, when two people were shot to death.
