Two people, including a youth, are facing attempted murder charges following a violent home invasion in Brampton.
Surveillance video provided by police in Peel Region shows three suspects approaching a home in the McLaughlin Road and Steeles Avenue West area around 4:30 a.m. on June 14, where they force their way into the home, breaking a rear glass door.
Investigators say once inside, a confrontation took place with two residents of the home, who were shot. They were taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries, where they were treated and later released.
The three suspects are then seen fleeing the home in a dark-coloured SUV.
