A shooting at an east London Tim Horton’s Wednesday sent one person to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Police and paramedics were called to the scene at 2094 Dundas St. near Industrial Road and Bonaventure Drive around 2:30 p.m.
Details remain limited, but an official with Middlesex-London EMS confirmed to 980 CFPL that a man in his twenties was located inside the store and was rushed to Victoria Hospital with life-threatening injuries.
At the scene, London police Const. Sandasha Bough confirmed the man suffered a gunshot wound in the incident but could not confirm witness accounts that multiple shots were heard during the incident. It’s also unclear whether the man was shot inside or outside the Tim Hortons.
Later in the afternoon, police confirmed a vehicle believed to be involved in the incident was found a short distance away and that investigators believe this was “not a random incident.”
No firearm has been recovered and the investigation is ongoing. As of 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, police had yet to provide any information about any potential suspect or suspects.
The shooting is the second in the area in as many months. In late August, a man was hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries following a shooting in the parking lot of Golddiggers Adult Nightclub near Dundas and Wavell streets,
A 26-year-old man, Dominique Mossel, of London, is being sought by police for several offences in relation to the incident.
