Incident at Canada’s Wonderland investigated, two patients taken to local hospital
Reports of gunshots at Canada’s Wonderland Friday night have been investigated by York Regional Police (YRP) who determined that nothing concerning occurred despite York Paramedics transporting two patients to a local hospital.
On Friday evening, police say they were called to Canada's Wonderland just before 10 p.m. for reports of shots fired at the amusement park’s Halloween Haunt event. Upon arriving at the scene, officers said they did not find any bullet casings or victims.
On Saturday morning, YRP confirmed that they had investigated the reports and that “nothing concerning had occurred.”
“No one was injured and there was no evidence found of any offence.”
However, York Paramedics say that they responded to the same incident at the park and that two patients were transported to a local hospital, but did not provide more information.
Grace Peacock, spokesperson for Canada’s Wonderland, told CTV News Toronto on Saturday that the park can only corroborate YRP’s statements.
“There were no confirmed altercations or incidents at last night’s Halloween Haunt. The safety of our guests and associates is always our first priority,” Peacock said.
Peacock added that the park would not provide further comment on the two patients transported to hospital at this time.
