Ontario’s Mental Health Act serves as legislation outlining procedures for assisting individuals experiencing a mental health crisis. Additionally, it enables individuals to undergo emergency assessment even without their consent, with the support of a Physician or a Justice of the Peace, authorities stated.
Police did not confirm the exact location of the attempted robbery, but did confirm that the incident took place at the same location as Tuesday’s shooting, which occurred on Drake’s property.
Police also said “this has nothing to do with the investigation from” Tuesday.
Despite recent rumours amid his ongoing rap feud with Kendrick Lamar, Drake was confirmed uninjured in the shooting, according to a spokesperson for the rapper.
Drake’s representatives declined to comment on the shooting incident, citing the ongoing police investigation.
It remains uncertain whether Drake was present at his residence during either the Tuesday shooting or the incident on Wednesday.
