Durham Regional Police say a 29-year-old man is dead after being shot Monday afternoon in Clarington.
The shooting marks Durham Region’s ninth homicide of 2018, meaning the region has so far seen the same number of homicides in 2018 as all of 2017.
Police said they were called at around 2:30 p.m. with reports of shots being fired inside of a home on Old Scugog Road, north of Hampton.
When officers arrived on scene, police said they found a man suffering from “obvious signs of trauma.”
He was taken to a local hospital by paramedics where he was pronounced dead.
No arrests have been made in the shooting and police said they are seeking two male suspects.
Authorities said they do not believe this shooting was random and are looking to speak to witnesses.
