Investigators with the York Regional Police Hold-Up Unit are seeking multiple suspects after shots were fired during a home invasion in the City of Vaughan.
On Monday, January 6, 2025, at 3:49 a.m., police responded to a home invasion at a residence in the area of Sir Sanford Fleming Way and Grand Turk Avenue. Once on scene, officers learned that multiple suspects broke through the rear glass door and at least one suspect was armed with a handgun. When the residents were confronted, a struggle ensued and the gun was discharged.
A victim was located suffering from a gunshot wound and transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. No other residents were injured. However, investigators believe one of the suspects may have been injured during the incident and are appealing for any witnesses to come forward.
During the struggle, the suspects dropped the handgun and fled in a dark-coloured sport utility vehicle (SUV). The gun was recovered at the scene.
The suspects remain outstanding.
