A 22-year-old man was shot at a bar in Pickering, Ontario, Friday night and left in "critical condition."
Durham Regional Police are asking for the public's help to find two suspects believed to have been involved in a shooting at The Harp and Crown Pub on May 5.
Police report that at around 11:30 p.m., a fight broke out at the bar, and one man ended up getting shot during the altercation, according to a press release.
The victim was sent to a Toronto-area trauma centre where he was in critical condition, but according to an update from police, he is now in "serious but stable condition."
Officers reviewed surveillance footage from the bar and spoke to witnesses who had seen the altercation and are now looking for two suspects.
