Home invasion shooting caught on video

Police have released video that appears to show a suspect shooting a man who had attempted to intervene in a home invasion in York Region on Monday night.

The incident occurred at a residence in the area of ​​Paradise Valley and Fairmont Ridge trails in King Township at approximately 6:20 p.m.

Police say two armed suspects forced their way into the residence while an adult woman was inside.

The suspects then confronted and shot a man who came to help the woman, police say.

The 39-year-old man, who was not connected to the home, was later taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The woman did not suffer physical injuries.

“As you can imagine, being home at 6pm when two armed intruders break into your home can be quite shocking. Physically there were no injuries (to the woman) but you can imagine the shock and fear she will have and will have for quite some time,” Const. Kevin Nebrija told CTV News Toronto on Tuesday.

Police have said the home invasion was “targeted” but have not indicated whether the suspects took anything from the residence.

In the video, released by police on Tuesday, the two suspects are seen inside the house wearing construction vests. At one point, one of the suspects steps forward and fires a single shot in the direction of the front door of the house.

After a few seconds, both suspects are seen running out the front door.

Police say they were last seen getting into a pickup truck and fleeing the scene.

“We are appealing to witnesses to come forward with any dash cam footage or surveillance video from the area,” Nebrija said. “We are also still trying to determine why that home was targeted and what they (the suspects) were looking for.”

The first suspect is described as a man with tan skin and a medium build, standing approximately five feet, eight inches tall. He was last seen wearing blue jeans, a white hoodie, a black t-shirt with reflective trim, a black beanie, a black face mask, black shoes and black gloves.

The second suspect is described as a black man with a thin build. He was last seen wearing black pants, a black hooded sweater with reflective trim, a black face mask, gray shoes with white soles, white socks and yellow gloves.
