A shooting at a home north of Toronto on Saturday is being investigated as an attempted murder as police search for the suspects involved.
Officers were called to a residence on Lee Avenue, in the area of Kennedy Road and 14th Avenue in Markham, Ont., on Saturday at approximately 10:30 p.m. for reports that a man had been shot outside a home, police said in a news release issued Monday morning.
When officers arrived on scene, they found a victim suffering from “obvious injures” and administered first aid until paramedics arrived, police said. The victim was transported to a trauma centre with non-life-threatening injuries.
Numerous people were in the house at the time of the shooting, police said, adding that investigators believe the incident was targeted.
Police said that a white sedan was seen leaving the area after the shooting took place.
