Investigators said early Tuesday that the victim has been indentified and family is being notified. No names have been released.

Police believe the attack was targeted. They are asking anyone in the area who has video surveillance footage to contact police.

Police are seeking two suspects.

It happened on Miller Drive near Garden Avenue, just south of Highway 403, and near the intersection of Garner Road West and Fiddlers Green Road, at about 10:30 p.m. Monday.

Multiple ambulances and police attended the scene. A long section of the street was barricaded off by police.

The home in question is across from the former Maple Lane Public School, which closed a decade ago.

Neighbours reported hearing gunshots near Garden Avenue and Fiddlers Green Road.

Police could not confirm late Monday that a firearm was involved.

Clark Wood, who has lived in the neighbourhood for decades and lives near the old school, said he was awakened at about 11 p.m. by lights from emergency vehicles arriving on the street. He said he did not hear any gunshots.

"All of a sudden the lights all appeared," he said. "It's like the Fourth of July."

He wasn't rattled that there was a deadly incident in the neighbourhood, saying they can happen anywhere. Still, he said it was a "quiet" neighbourhood.

"We've never had any problems around here," said Wood.
