London, Ont. police are investigating an overnight shooting in the city.
A London, Ont. man is in critical condition after an early morning shooting in the west end of the city.
First responders were called to a townhouse unit at 786 Ladybrook Cres. around 1:30 a.m. for reports of a man being shot.
Robert Poirier, who lives in the unit with his sister and brother-in-law Brandon Wilson, was just returning from a walk to the store when he saw all the commotion at his home.
“When I came home my sister is just hysterically crying and I asked her what's going on?” said Poirier. “What's the matter? There's cops everywhere and she said ‘Brandon has been shot’. I couldn't believe it myself. Honestly, you know, it's a scary thing and I don't know why he was shot. I definitely hope they find whoever did it and figure out what happened.”
Wednesday morning, London police officers were guarding the unit while the forensics and K-9 units had already been in the home.
Poirier hadn’t been able to get back inside and their dogs were barking all morning in the back yard. He said hadn’t slept all night and was getting updates on Wilson’s condition from his sister who is at the hospital.
“He's on life support for 24 hours until they can do some more surgery on him,” said Poirier.
