Supt Rodhill Kirk said a group of men were gathered in front a supermarket at the corner of Carrington Street and Wilson Road in Scarborough, just after 7pm, when a gunman approached and fired at them. The men scattered in various directions, and the gunman escaped on foot.

The men were later found with injuries and were taken to the Scarborough General Hospital. Three of the victims were discharged by Sunday afternoon, with the last one still in serious condition.

Investigations are continuing.
