One man is in hospital with life-threatening injuries and another is charged following a shooting in a Botwood neighbourhood late Saturday night.

Grand Falls-Windsor RCMP say a 53-year-old Botwood man is facing one count of attempted murder as well as a firearms offence in connection to the shooting that occurred during a home invasion in the community just before midnight.

Neighbours in the area of the shooting say the house is owned by Gil Budgell, and a Gilbert Donald Dennis Budgell is set to appear in a St. John's court on Thursday to face attempted murder and firearms charges.
