Drake's security guard shot at rapper's Toronto home
By Sam Cabral
Toronto police have said a security guard was shot overnight outside the home of Canadian rapper Drake.
It comes amid his escalating war of words with US rap rival Kendrick Lamar.
Police said suspects in a vehicle shot the guard at the corner of the Park Lane Circle mansion around 02:00 EDT (06:00 GMT) on Tuesday before fleeing the scene.
It remains unclear if Drake was at home when the incident occurred or whether he was a target of the shooting.
“We are in contact with his team and they are cooperating,” Inspector Paul Krawczyk of the Integrated Gun and Gang Task Force told reporters on Tuesday morning.
It is too early in the investigation to speak about a motive, he added.
He said police are currently assessing video that captures the shooting but is not releasing information about it due to video quality issues.
The victim is in hospital and is in serious condition, police said.
