A Chilliwack man has been charged with aggravated assault and discharge of a firearm with intent, after a man was shot Sunday.

They say the suspect fled into a nearby forested area and was arrested hours later after a search involving officers and police dogs.

Mounties say the victim was transported to hospital with life-threatening injuries and is listed in critical but stable condition.
