Shooting outside Drake’s Toronto mansion leaves security guard wounded
- Police investigate motive behind shooting that left security guard seriously wounded
- There was no indication shooting had any relation to Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s feud
Police in Toronto were investigating a predawn shooting on Tuesday at the sprawling estate of superstar rapper Drake, located in one of Canada’s most exclusive neighbourhoods.
A security guard was standing outside the massive wrought iron gates at the entrance to the rapper’s mansion on The Bridle Path road north of downtown Toronto when suspects in a vehicle opened fire, police said.
The guard was rushed to hospital suffering from an apparent gunshot wound, and remains in serious but non-life-threatening condition, according to police inspector Paul Krawczyk of the city’s guns and gangs unit.
The shooting, captured on grainy security camera footage that has not been released to the public, happened at 2.09am.
“I cannot confirm if Drake was home at the time the incident occurred, but I can tell you that we are in contact with his team and they are cooperating,” Krawczyk told a news conference outside the home.
