Police investigating homicide at Hamilton bar

Police are investigating a homicide that happened at a Hamilton bar.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, early on Sunday morning, police said their investigation is being conducted at Peddles Tavern on Barton Street East.
Police said a man in his 30s died and that one person is under arrest. They did not provide any further details.
This is the second time in recent months Peddles Tavern saw violence at its premises.
In August, Hamilton police responded to a shooting in the bar's parking lot and found a 20-year-old man and a 28-year-old man with non-life-threatening injuries.
"My information is the incident that happened at Peddles Tavern was not directly related to the tavern itself. It just occurred in the parking lot," Insp. Jim Callender told reporters during a press conference on Aug. 25. "I don't know if there was a disturbance that happened within Peddles earlier or anything like that, but it just happened to be in the vicinity of Peddles Tavern."
Callender said then it appeared to be a "targeted" shooting.
Hamilton police said they will provide an update on their investigation at 2 p.m.
This is a developing story. More to come…
