Judy Stinson was on a Zoom call on the second floor of her midtown Toronto home Monday morning when the sound of gunshots rang out.

“It was so loud,” said Stinson, who lives on True Davidson Drive near Bayview Avenue and Pottery Road.

“That’s a distinctive sound,” she said. “And there were many shots fired; it was like fireworks.”

Stinson was among the residents in the part of Rosedale called Governor’s Bridge were told to “shelter in place” Monday morning as police probed the area following a shooting that left one man with serious injuries. The advisory was lifted just before noon.

Home surveillance footage obtained by the Star captured what’s believed to be the sound of at least 13 gunshots fired at 8:07 a.m. Monday. Moments later, a light gold car can be seen in the video driving down the residential street.
