Toronto Police say a 30-year-old man has life-threatening injuries after being shot in the city’s north end on Thursday.
Police said they received reports of multiple gunshots heard at around 12:08 p.m. near Yonge Street and Bogert Avenue, just south of Sheppard Avenue.
Paramedics told Global News they took one person to hospital with life-threatening injuries. Duty-Insp. Jeff Bassingthwaite said the victim was a 30-year-old man.
There is no word on what led to the shooting or any suspect descriptions. Bassingthwaite said it took place at the entrance to an underground in the area.
“Any shooting in a city is one shooting too many and we remain laser-focused on ensuring the safety of our communities,” Toronto police Chief Myron Demkiw said Thursday.
