A man is in critical condition following an early morning shooting in Oshawa.
Police in Durham Region say they received a call just after 6 a.m. about an armed person in the area of Simcoe Street North and Bond Street East.
A man in his 30s was found on the sidewalk with a gunshot wound to his abdomen by a citizen who called 911.
The victim was then transported by paramedics to Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto in life-threatening condition, where he underwent emergency surgery. His condition is currently unknown.
Investigators are still trying to determine the exact location of the shooting.
“That is one of the aspects of the investigation that detectives are looking into, as to where it occurred,” said Acting Duty Insp. Jeff Caplan. “Could it have occurred inside a residence or business, because we did not receive any calls for the sound of gunshots.”
No suspect description was released.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
