Authorities say three male suspects were seen fleeing the area in a vehicle following the shooting.

Jones said she helped another neighbour perform CPR until paramedics arrived.
“I was holding his nose. There’s was no reaction. All we heard was a gurgle and that was it,” she said. “I’m feeling for the parents. They are very, very distraught.”
Police say the shooting was targeted and that there was no risk to the public.
Several neighbours told Global News it wasn’t uncommon to spot groups of people coming in and out of the home.
“They don’t look like normal people. If that make sense,” Nab Jamal said. “It’s just out of the ordinary because there’s like three or four individuals coming in and then coming out.”
