AJAX, Ont. – Eight people were injured in two separate shootings in the Greater Toronto Area late Sunday and early Monday morning, including six people shot at a restaurant in Ajax, Ont.
The Ajax shooting took place during a barbecue at 154 Harwood Ave. at 1:20 a.m. Monday, Durham Regional police said.
Staff Sgt. Tony Romano said the victims were three adult males and three adult females. One victim is in critical condition and undergoing surgery, and the other five sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
Det. Kristy Mackinnon said the barbecue had been advertised online and was well attended.
“We know that there was a lot of people in attendance, so we’re hoping that some individuals who were here would be able to come forward with some more information for us to help us determine exactly what happened,” Mackinnon said.
Police did not provide a description of the suspect, who fled in a dark-coloured, four-door vehicle. Officers on scene were not able to provide information about whether the suspect and victims knew each other.

Police said they responded to reports of gunshots at 11:43 p.m. near Northwest Drive and Airway Drive and located two males with injuries, who were transported to a trauma centre.
One of the victims was initially in critical condition, but both victims are now stable.
