Police arrived at the hospital to find a pickup truck that crashed into a cement pillar had been struck by gunfire and there was bullet damage to the building, police said at the time.

A man with gunshot wounds was treated and released from hospital, police said.

Police have called the gunfire a targeted and isolated incident. At the scene hours after the shooting, London police Det.-Insp. Sean Travis said: “When an activity such as this reaches a public institution such as a hospital, this is something that is obviously very concerning for the public and police.”

This marked the 10th incident of gunfire so far this year in London.

Police on Wednesday published new images of the vehicle sought in connection with the shooting – a four-door Hyundai Sonata from 2018 or 2019, grey or silver, with a sunroof – and were asking for help locating it.

Police also are asking anyone with dashboard-camera or surveillance footage in the areas of White Oaks and Southdale roads or Commissioners and Wellington roads between 2:10 a.m. and 2:35 a.m. on Dec. 14 to contact police at 519-661-5670 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
