BURLINGTON, Ont. — Police say a shooting that left a 23-year-old man with serious injuries and prompted a shelter-in-place order in Burlington, Ont., appears to have been targeted.
They say the incident happened at around 9 a.m. when two men were seen fleeing after shots rang out.
They say police arrived on scene to find the man with injuries that are serious but not life threatening.
Investigators say two possible suspects were at large, so they ordered people to shelter in place and put a school where students were retrieving items from lockers on hold and secure.
Police say tactical and K-9 officers searched the area but weren't able to find the men.
The shelter in place orders have since been lifted and police are asking anyone with information about the incident to get in touch.
