When George Moore stepped out on the front porch of his friend&8217;s house at 1601 Maple St. on Saturday, he didn’t expect to be confronted by a gun-weilding man in a hoodie.

Moore was in Vaughan Regional Medical Center early today, recovering from three gunshot wounds, one to the chest and two to the legs.

His friend, Charles Travis, and five other people were in the house watching the NBA slam dunk contest on television, part of the NBA All-Star weekend. Molly Travis, Charles&8217; wife, turned up the heat. Moore got hot, so he stepped out on the porch and sat on a couch.

Travis heard Moore&8217;s body fall against the door, and his friend said he&8217;d been shot.

Travis called the police and an ambulance.

Police responded to find Moore conscious and able to talk. The victim described the gunman as wearing a black or blue hoodie. The suspect is a young man.

Travis doesn&8217;t know what could have caused the shooting. &8220;He [Moore] don&8217;t have any enemies. I don’t know why he got shot.&8221;

Detective Frederick Walker said authorities recovered five 22-caliber bullets from the scene.
