Video shows suspects outside Brampton home where several shots fired overnight

Police say they are investigating after two suspects were caught on video outside a Brampton home where multiple shots were fired early Wednesday morning.

In the video, which was obtained by CTV News Toronto, two suspects are seen approaching a home on Senwood Street, near McLaughlin Road and Wanless Drive, at around 2:30 a.m. before fleeing the area seconds later.

Gunfire is not visible on the video but police confirmed that multiple shots were fired at the home.

“Fortunately no one was injured,” Peel Regional Police said in an email to CP24. “The home was occupied at the time.”

The 22 Criminal Investigations Bureau is leading the probe and officers are conducting a canvass of the area for security video. Some video has already been obtained by investigators, police said.

They said it would appear “multiple” suspects are involved but were unable to confirm how many people they believe are responsible for the incident.

Investigators noted that it is a “targeted style shooting” but added that it is not yet known if that particular residence was targeted.  

‘Families were home sleeping’

The incident occurred just minutes after an unrelated shooting that saw more than a dozen shots fired at a housing complex in Oshawa overnight, Durham Regional Police said. Police are investigating after 14 shots were fired at an Oshawa housing complex on Wednesday morning.

 

Police said officers were called to the area of Mary Street North and Taunton Road at around 2:05 a.m. for a report of shots fired.

“Officers arrived on scene and located a number of shell casings in the area. At this time, there have been no physical injuries reported,” Durham police said in an email to CP24.

In a post on social media, Durham Regional Police Chief Peter Moreira said it is “very lucky” that no one was hurt.

“Last night we saw 14 shots fired into a housing complex in Oshawa. Families were home sleeping while one or more coward(s) fired indiscriminately,” Moreira wrote.

“The frequency of these incidents is of great concern and require dedicated resources to address. It’s another sober reminder that @RegionofDurham is not immune from gun related crime.”

Police said they are working to identify those responsible and are urging anyone with video footage of the area at the time of the shooting to contact investigators.
