A security guard working at Drake’s Bridle Path mansion in Toronto was critically injured in a shooting outside the residence early Tuesday morning, police said.

Police tape and patrol cars could be seen at the rap superstar’s sprawling home near Park Lane Circle and Post Road.

The victim, an adult male, sustained life-threatening injuries in the shooting and was rushed to hospital, where he remains. Police initially said his injuries were serious, but later described them as life-threatening. He was standing outside of the home’s front gates when shots were fired from a vehicle which then fled the scene, police said.

Insp. Paul Krawczyk told reporters at the scene that the suspect, or suspects, involved in the shooting fled the scene in a vehicle, the description of which has not been released by police. Investigators are currently reviewing video footage of the incident, he said.
