York Regional Police (YRP) have released video of a violent home invasion in Vaughan that ended with one suspect shot by a homeowner using a legally owned firearm, eventually resulting in one of the three alleged perpetrators being arrested.
The incident unfolded around 12:50 a.m. on Tuesday at a residence near Carrville Woods Circle and Crimson Forest Drive near Rutherford Road. Police said they were called for reports of a shooting and arrived to find the suspects had already fled.
According to officers, multiple suspects — at least one armed with a firearm — forced their way into the home. During the confrontation, investigators said an occupant retrieved a legally owned, properly stored firearm and fired at the intruders.
The suspects fled in a black pickup truck before officers arrived. No one inside the home was physically injured.
A video of the home invasion, released by investigators, shows masked suspects entering the residence moments before the shooting.
