A father and son are recovering in hospital after an early morning shooting in Newton on Monday.

Police say a South Asian man, 23, came home at about 2 p.m. to a home in the 12400 block 74 Avenue.

From there, details are murky.

The younger man was shot in the hand, while his 47-year-old father was shot in the arm.

The mother was at home and has been interviewed by police.

The problem is, police say, is all accounts are substantially different.

"We're getting conflicting information from the witness accounts that we have so far," said RCMP Cpl. Drew Grainger. "Now we're looking at the forensic evidence we have before us to determine what happened and where it happened."

The two men are being treated for non-life threatening injuries and are expected to be fine.
