London police are investigating a shooting that took place in the north-east end of the city on Wednesday morning.
A man is in hospital with apparent gunshot wounds after an incident in London’s north end.
City police says a shooting took place around 4:30 a.m. on Flanders Row, near the intersection of Oxford and Highbury.
A home, at 351 Flanders Row, is blocked by police tape and a glass patio table near the front door is shattered. It is unclear whether it relates to the investigation.
Nearby resident Daniel Gallant didn’t hear any shots, but members of his family were up at the time, including his wife.
“She was watching a cop show ironically, with gunshots in the cop show, so it didn’t register there were actual gunshots happening,” he tells CTV London.
But Gallant’s son did hear an altercation followed by what he thought might have been a gun being fired.
“He heard the arguments and heard the gunshots,” he says.
