Police responded to a home invasion in Brampton just before 4 a.m. on Tuesday, discovering an adult female with a foot injury at the scene.
The victim received medical treatment on site and was transported to a local hospital, where she remains in non‑life‑threatening condition.
Investigators believe at least two suspects entered the residence, triggering an altercation that may have involved gunfire. Shell casings were recovered inside the home as part of the ongoing investigation.
The incident occurred near the intersection of Goreway Drive and Castlemore Road, with authorities indicating the entry was forced from the side of the house and appeared to be a targeted invasion.
Police have not confirmed whether the shots were fired by the intruders or by occupants inside the home, and they have not disclosed any details about stolen items or a getaway vehicle.
Family members of the victim have been described as traumatized, and officers are providing resources while continuing to assess the circumstances surrounding the attack.
Detectives are canvassing the neighbourhood and have asked anyone with video footage, dash‑cam recordings, or eyewitness information to contact the police department.
This event follows a separate home invasion in Brampton last month that resulted in two victims being shot.
Earlier in the year, the police launched a specialized unit focused on break‑and‑enter and vehicle theft crimes, which recovered 80 stolen vehicles and led to 21 arrests within its first three months of operation.
