Emergency crews responded to a shooting in the 200 block of Clarence Street, between King Edward Avenue and Nelson Street, at approximately 11:40 p.m. Friday."I was just drifting off to sleep about 11:30 last night, and I just jumped. I heard pow-pow, pow-pow, and I recognized it was gun shots right off the bat," said Christine Vincent, who lives across the street from the shooting location.
"We were just sitting around playing Mario Kart, buddies and I, it was a quiet night and then all of the sudden it wasn't so quiet," resident James Flemming said "A guy laying on the ground obviously had been shot, a whole bunch of police, a lot of worried neighbours." Neighbours who asked not to appear on camera said they saw a man fleeing the scene on foot shortly after the shots were fired.
