Beetham man shot during dispute, hospitalised
A 51-year-old man is receiving medical treatment after he was shot during a dispute with another man in Beetham on Thursday night.
According to police, the incident happened at about 8 p.m. along 22nd Street. Investigators said the victim was liming outside his home when he became involved in an argument with a man from the area.
