Barrie police are investigating a shooting over the weekend that left a man in critical condition.

Police say a man in his mid-40s was walking along the catwalk from Leacock Drive to Kipling Place at around 10:30 p.m. Saturday when he got involved in an altercation with a group of people and was shot multiple times.

He was taken to a Toronto area trauma centre with life-threatening injuries.

On Sunday afternoon, there was a heavy police presence at nearby Sunnidale Park, with a perimeter set up and a police mobile command unit deployed.
