Two people killed in a shooting in front of a house in Fawgan, investigations suggest a targeted incident

Vaughan —
Two people were killed in a shooting in front of a house in the city of Vaughan north of Toronto, in an incident described by the police as "targeted," amid intensive investigations to uncover its circumstances and the identities of those involved.

York Regional Police said their officers responded to a report of a shooting in a residential area during nighttime hours, where the two victims were found shot in front of a house.

The police confirmed that the two victims died at the scene, while security forces imposed a wide cordon around the area and began collecting evidence and reviewing surveillance camera recordings.

The authorities are treating the case as a targeted incident and not a random act, but they have not yet disclosed the identities of the victims or the possible relationship between them and the suspects.

The police have also not announced any arrests, while investigators continue to search for information that may help identify the routes of vehicles or people seen near the shooting site.

The incident sparked concern in the quiet residential neighborhood, especially with the recurrence of shootings linked to organized crime or personal disputes in some areas of the Greater Toronto Area in recent months.

The police called on anyone with information or camera recordings from the area to contact the investigators, confirming that the investigation is still in its early stages.
