Toronto police say a woman found at a Scarborough home with gunshot wounds has suffered “life-altering injuries.”

Emergency crews were called to a house on Birchmount Road near Laura Secord Walk, south of Ellesmere Road, at 10:10 p.m. on Tuesday.

A Toronto Paramedics spokesperson told Global News the woman, who is believed to be in her 50s, was found with gunshot-related injuries.

Paramedics rushed the woman to hospital in life-threatening condition.
