CCTV footage obtained by Postmedia shows a compact black sedan pull up behind the silver car, blocking it as it attempts to back out of a driveway. The silver car pulls forward as two hooded shooters, both dressed in black, jump out of the black car and run up the driveway. Another man in black can then be seen crawling through bushes, possibly trying to hide, before the shooters run back to the black car and speed away.
