A 22-year-old man faces charges after he was wounded in a shooting at a Vaughan shopping centre Tuesday night.
York Regional Police say a group of people were outside Vaughan Mills Mall, near Jane St. and Rutherford Rd., when gunfire suddenly erupted shortly after 7 p.m.
But by the time officers arrived at the scene, those involved were nowhere to be found.
“Police were later notified that a man had attended a hospital suffering from a gunshot wound,” Const. Jennifer Davison said Wednesday, adding the man’s injuries are not considered life-threatening.
Investigators believe the wounded man was involved in the shooting at the mall and he was allegedly seen by witnesses, and on security video, armed with a gun as he ran away with two other men and then fled the area in a vehicle.
