Key points:
- A man was allegedly shot in Royal Park
- A Croydon Park man was charged with attempted murder

Police and ambulance crews attended a house in Brandwood Street in Royal Park just before 7:30pm yesterday following reports a man had been shot.
The victim, a 47-year-old man from the same suburb, was taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Senior Constable Kimberley Broad said a man was arrested in connection with the shooting just before midnight.
“We had Western District police along with STAR Group officers attend a Croydon Park home and [a man] was arrested without incident,” she said.
“A 44-year-old man from Croydon Park was charged with attempt murder, failing to answer questions under the Firearms Act and carrying an offensive weapon.”
He was refused bail to appear in the Port Adelaide Magistrates Court today.
Stabbing in Adelaide Hills
Police are also investigating an alleged stabbing at Mount Barker overnight.
Emergency services responded to reports a man was stabbed in Laver Street at about 1am.
Police say a 40-year-old Two Wells man was found with a stab wound to the groin and taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital, where he is now in a serious but not life-threatening condition.
No-one has been arrested over the stabbing, but police believe it was not a random incident.
