VAUGHAN \u2014 Police say two men were killed and three suspects are on the loose after a targeted shooting in a suburban neighbourhood north of Toronto.<\/p>\n
Const. Kevin Nebrija with York Regional Police says officers were called Wednesday afternoon to a home in Vaughan, where they found the men with multiple gunshot wounds sprawled in front of the home.<\/p>\n

They were later pronounced dead.<\/p>\n
Nebrija says three men fled in a blue SUV, and police were later called about a vehicle on fire north of where the shooting took place that he says matched the description of the suspect vehicle.<\/p>\n
Nebrija says one of the victims lived at the home on Kaiser Drive, while the other lived in the neighbourhood, adding the pair knew each other.<\/p>\n
He says it’s not often a double homicide takes place in broad daylight, calling it “chaotic and horrific.”<\/p>\n

“It’s absolutely shocking to the community here,” Nebrija told reporters late Wednesday. “It’s a pretty chaotic and horrific event to happen in broad daylight, and so for those who did call it in, we can only imagine what they’re feeling right now.<\/p>\n
“We do have victim services in place if they wish to call them for any support.”<\/p>\n
Nebrija said police do not have suspect descriptions at this time, but ask anyone who may have seen anything or has video footage to contact York Regional Police.<\/p>\n
