York Regional Police investigators are on the hunt for multiple suspects after a shooting during a home invasion in Vaughan early Monday morning sent one person to hospital.
Police say five suspects broke through a rear glass door and stormed a home in the Sir Sanford Fleming Way and Grand Turk Avenue area at around 3:49 a.m. on Jan. 6.
At least one of the suspects was armed with a handgun, police added.
