According to WWJ Newsradio, the Canton Police Department responded to a call at approximately 11:48 a.m. yesterday in the residential area of Cornell Street. The police statement described that the brief argument escalated rapidly, resulting in one man firing shots at the other.

Upon arriving, officers located the injured man in the street suffering from a gunshot wound; Canton firefighters and paramedics provided medical aid, said police.
