London police are searching for five suspects after a man was shot inside a vehicle early Wednesday night in the city’s southwest end. According to investigators, police responded to a “fight” around 6pm in a parking lot on the southeast corner of Wonderland Road South near Teeple Terrace. During the incident, police say a man sitting inside a red Porsche was shot. Officers were initially told that two to three black males were seen running away from the area before getting into a dark-colored sedan, which was later determined to be a dark blue Acura. The car was last seen driving north through the lot towards Teeple Terrace. The man was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. As of Thursday morning, he was in good condition, police said. Late Thursday afternoon, investigators announced that five suspects were at the scene before the shooting. Police say four of them approached the victim’s Porsche while the fifth remained inside the Acura.
