A woman and her two dogs were shot during a home invasion early Tuesday in King Township.
The 47-year-old woman was transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after three suspects broke into the house in the area of Highway 27 and King Vaughan Road in Nobleton on Jan. 21 at approximately 3:50 a.m., a York Regional Police news release said.
The suspects also shot both of the woman’s dogs, one of which died.
The suspects had also attempted to set the house on fire using an accelerant.
The three suspects then fled the scene in a dark-coloured sedan.
All three suspects were described as male, young, and wearing dark clothing. At least two firearms were observed.
There were four other people in the residence at the time of the incident and no other injuries were reported, police said.
Police said this was a targeted incident.
