Brazen crime continues with double shooting at city’s Annex neighbourhood
It was shorty after 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, that a 66-year-old criminal defence lawyer was shot while he was in the driveway of his office located at 23 Bedford Road, north of Bloor Street.
The gunman subsequently was shot at by a plainclothes Halton police officer, reported the Special Investigations Unit (SIU).
Both men with serious injuries were transported to the hospital.
Several Halton police officers, in plainclothes were actually conducting surveillance in the area at the time of the initial shooting but it is uncertain if the gunman was being followed, reported the SIU.
Investigators with the SIU spent all of Tuesday night probing the shooting incident and wrapped up their investigation shortly before 4 a.m. Around 5:45 am the Toronto police towed a vehicle, believed to have been driven by the suspect.
Toronto Police Service in conjunction with the Forensic investigators had started combing the scene for further evidence and got Bedford Road closed north of Prince Arthur Avenue.
