Police said no one was injured.

In the 38-second clip, a white four-door sedan pulls up in the neighbourhood with three men allegedly inside.

It appears as though two men get out of the vehicle, where police said, they fired more than 20 gunshots down the street. The video then shows a third man get out of the car from the passenger side and get into the driver’s seat.

All three suspects then appear to get back into the vehicle and flee the scene.

“It’s amazing that no one was injured or killed given the number of shots that were recklessly fired in this otherwaise quiet neighbourhood,” Police Chief Eric Jolliffee said. “We continue to see that there are people using short-term rental houses for parties and their guests are bringing handungs and violence into York Region.

“Those choosing to illegally use guns will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law,” he continued.
