A quiet Woodbridge neighbourhood was shattered in the early hours of Wednesday morning when a man was shot on Andrew Park. The gunfire erupted around 1:45 a.m., leaving residents shaken and police scrambling to piece together what happened.
Responding officers discovered a man with injuries that, thankfully, were not considered life-threatening. He was immediately transported to a local hospital for medical attention, leaving behind a scene quickly sealed off with yellow crime scene tape.
As dawn broke, the stark reality of the night’s events became visible. Bullet holes marred the front door and garage of a semi-detached bungalow, silent testaments to the violence that had unfolded.
Investigators believe this was a targeted attack, offering a small measure of reassurance to the community that there’s currently no broader threat to public safety. However, the search for the perpetrator is now underway.
Police are seeking a man with pale skin who was seen fleeing the scene wearing a balaclava. He escaped in a distinctive vehicle – a dark-coloured, high-end Porsche SUV – and remains at large.
The investigation is still in its early stages, and authorities are appealing to the public for any information that could lead to an arrest. A significant police presence will remain in the area as detectives gather evidence and interview potential witnesses.
Anyone with knowledge of the shooting is urged to contact York Regional Police at 1-866-876-5423, extension 7445, or to submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
Investigators plan to provide further updates to the media later today, hoping to shed more light on this disturbing incident and bring the responsible party to justice.
