While Bell said only one of those patients was in critical condition, Peel paramedics say all three have life-threatening injuries.

Bell says a fourth victim was taken to a local hospital and their condition is unknown.

Police were not able to provide a description of the suspect or suspects in the shooting, but say they fled the scene in a white Ram pickup truck.
