Durham Regional Police say they’re investigating after two victims were shot and suffered critical injuries, though it’s not yet clear if the incidents are related.
In a press release issued Friday morning, police said that at around 3:50 a.m., officers responded to a home on Underwood Drive in north Whitby for a shooting.
A 26-year-old man was found with critical injures and was taken to a Toronto-area trauma centre, the statement said.
He is now reported to be in stable condition.
Several suspects fled in a vehicle, but no descriptions are currently available and the investigation is ongoing, police said.
“Police are appealing for any witnesses to come forward or for anyone that may have dash-cam video or surveillance video in the area to contact investigators,” the release said.
“It appears to be an isolated incident at this time and there is no threat to public safety.”

Officers said they’re still trying to work out whether the two incidents are related.
