Man shot while helping neighbours during home invasion: York police
York Regional Police have released video footage that appears to show the moment a suspect shot a man who was helping his neighbours during a home invasion in the Township of King on Monday evening.
Police say they were called about the shooting at 6:23 p.m. in Nobleton, in the area of Paradise Valley Trail and Fairmont Ridge Trail, roughly 50 kilometres north of Toronto.
Officers say two armed suspects broke into a home. The man, 39, was coming to the assistance of the homeowners when he was shot in front of their residence, police said in a news release.
He was rushed to a trauma centre with serious but non-life threatening injuries.
Police released a video of the home invasion Tuesday, which shows a man wearing a yellow construction vest running toward someone off-camera, then firing a shot before running away with another man.
