Hamilton Police Service investigating shooting at short-term rental in Flamborough
An address in Flamborough was photographed on July 7, 2025 as Hamilton Police Service investigates a shooting. (Dave Pettitt/CTV News) At least one person has been seriously hurt in a shooting in Flamborough. The Hamilton Police Service was called to a party at a short-term rental property on Highway 6 near Concession Road 6 West on Sunday around 3:20 a.m. Police said one person was taken to hospital with serious injuries. 'They are currently in stable condition with non-life threatening injuries,' Det. Const. Dan Jaworski, a member of the Hamilton Police Service's shooting response team, told CTV News on Monday. Police have not released any suspect information. They believe approximately 200 to 300 people were at the event at the property. 'We've had very little cooperation with members of the public who were in attendance at this event. At this time, we're asking for anybody who was there to contact us – contact the shooting response team of the Hamilton Police Service to provide that information. At this point, we unfortunately don't have the ability to provide any suspect description or vehicle description,' Jaworski said. People who live nearby were also asked to check their video surveillance systems for any unusual activity on Sunday morning. Previous fatal shooting investigation at same address This was not the first time police were called to the Flamborough address. In June 2024, officers began investigating the fatal shooting of a 45-year-old man, later identified as Tobenna Obiaga. He was found on the shoulder of Highway 6 in a bullet-riddled Mercedez Benz. Investigators later discovered multiple shots had been fired at a house party at the short-term rental property. Four to five people were believed to be involved, and multiple injuries were reported. No link between the shooting Police do not believe the current investigation has any relation to last year's incident, but are concerned about the use of guns in both cases. 'Anybody who's using these firearms in the commission of an offence is not concerned, or they're not taking the time to consider, what's going to happen once they pull the trigger,' Jaworski said. The rental property no longer appears on major rental property sites. Police said they want to work with community partners to try and prevent similar situations in the future. 'Whether it's beyond enforcement action, we're certainly considering all of our options to ensure that our community members feel safe and that this doesn't happen again,' Jaworski said.

Humberside Police officer 'honoured' to receive bravery award
Police officer Daniel Boothby said he felt "very proud and honoured" after winning the overall Humberside Police & Federation Bravery Award. PC Boothby, 24, saved a woman in distress from a cliff at Flamborough in May 2024, endangering himself and risking his life to do so, the federation said. He is now set to represent Humberside at the National Police Bravery Awards in London in July. "I felt like I was just doing my job, you're doing what any one else would do in that situation but everyone has been very supportive," he said. PC Boothby has been working as a serving police officer for the last three years. He said he always wanted to work in a job that "helps people" and he enjoyed "working for his community, as cliche as that sounds." The annual Police Bravery Awards, organised by the Police Federation of England and Wales, honour "some of the finest officers" who have performed acts of bravery, while on or off Boothby said the incident was: "One of those moments where you stop with your policing head and think actually there's a human being in front of me. You have to live with that for the rest of your life." He said his first thought was: "I hope my mum doesn't find out what I'm about to do, but it was just a natural split second decision." PC Boothby said he struggled to sleep for a while after the incident. However, he added: "I would have done the exact same thing again. Anyone in this job would have done the exact same." PC Boothby said he was "excited and nervous" about the national awards ceremony and was looking foward to representing the Humber region.
