Officers responded shortly after 2 a.m. to reports of a shooting near Bayview Avenue and Lawrence Avenue. Police say one man was sent to hospital with serious injuries.

A suspect fled in a vehicle, police said, but offered no description of either the suspect or vehicle.

The police presence outside the home comes amid a rap feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. The lyrical back-and-forth hit a fever pitch in the last week with both artists releasing multiple tracks including unsubstantiated allegations directed at each other.

There is no indication the feud is connected to the shooting.
