An early morning shooting in Burlington has left a woman in hospital and police looking for the suspect.
Just after midnight this morning, Feb. 6, a 20-year-old female was shot while driving her vehicle. At the time of the shooting, the victim was exiting the parking lot at The Playground Global at 952 Century Dr. This location is a gym that hosts recreational basketball games.
Multiple rounds were fired at the victim’s vehicle and one struck her in the head. Police and EMS attended the scene immediately and the female was taken to hospital. She is in serious but stable condition.
