The suspects then sped off. The victim was taken to hospital in a private vehicle. He is in critical condition.

A few hours later, at about 2am, another man was shot, this time in the Cordeaux Avenue area. According to reports, the victim was standing in front of his home when he was approached by a man who shot him in the stomach. The suspect fled on foot.

The victim drove himself to the Wulff Road police station and was rushed to hospital by ambulance where he is listed in serious condition.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 911 or 919, the Central Detective Unit at 502-9991 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 328-TIPS.
