A man is in hospital after he was shot several times in Niagara Falls overnight.
Police say the shooting happened just after 1:30 a.m. Wednesday on Summer Street near Main Street in the city centre.
“Officers located a male victim laying injured on the street suffering from multiple gunshot wounds,” Niagara Regional Police said in a release on Wednesday.
The man in his 20s was airlifted to an out-of-town trauma centre with critical injuries, according to detectives who say the probe is in its “early stages.”
As of Wednesday afternoon, the victim was still in hospital with serious injuries.
Investigators say a black sport utility vehicle and a possible black sedan, seen leaving the area at a high rate of speed, may be involved in the occurrence.
Detectives say they believe the shooting was “not a random incident.”
Anyone with information can reach out to Niagara Police or Crime Stoppers.
