Man Shot in Barrie Downtown, Fighting for Life

0:00A 30-year-old man from Barry is fighting for his life in the hospital after getting shot in the chest early Sunday morning. It went down just before 3 a.m. on Dunlop Street downtown, right after he left a spot near Mulcaster. Surveillance video caught the whole thing, a group arguing, then moving west before someone with a black backstrap over their shoulder walks up and fires a single shot. The shooter bolted east on foot. The victim, Jordan Sprotts, had emergency surgery Sunday night at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Center in Toronto. Doctors removed his liver, spleen, appendix, and part of a kidney since the bullet exited his lower back. His dad says another operation might happen Monday night and he'll be laid up there for at least a month. Folks in Barry are stunned. This kind of violence hits hard in the city core. Local businesses worry it scares people away when the downtown needs support more than ever. Police are hunting the suspect with that video as key evidence, but no arrests yet. Stay tuned as this unfolds.
