Investigators with the York Regional Police Hold-Up Unit have arrested one suspect and are seeking three others following an armed home invasion in the City of Vaughan.
On Tuesday, March 17, 2026, at approximately 12:50 a.m., police responded to reports of a shooting at a residence in the area of Carrville Woods Circle and Crimson Forest Drive. When they arrived at the scene, police learned multiple suspects, armed with at least one firearm, forced their way into the residence.
An occupant of the home accessed a legally owned, and properly stored firearm, and discharged it toward the suspects.
The suspects were seen getting into a black pick-up truck which fled the scene before police arrived.
The occupants of the home were not physically injured.

At approximately 3:15 a.m., York Regional Police was notified a male had been dropped off at a Toronto-area hospital with a gunshot wound. It was determined the male had been dropped off shortly after the home invasion occurred.
Investigators with the Hold-Up Unit have since confirmed the male was shot during the reported home invasion.
Charges are pending against the male suspect. He remains in police custody in hospital, in stable condition.
Following evidence gathered at the scene by investigators, charges have not been laid against the occupant of the home who discharged the firearm.
The investigation is ongoing.
