No arrests have been made at this time and the investigation remains ongoing, police said.

A nearby resident, who did not give her name due to being scared of her safety, told Global News she heard a number of eight to ten bangs around the time of the shooting.

“I am worried about my safety. There are a lot of things that happen in this neighbourhood,” she said. “It is quite scary, this is really real.”

She said she thought it was fireworks.
