Toronto police say two people were rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries following a double shooting at a residential building in North York.
Police said they responded to a call around 9 a.m. Tuesday near Caledonia Road and Lotherton Pathway just south of Lawrence Avenue West.
Duty Insp. Mandeep Mann said the shooting took place on the sixth floor of 50 Lotherton Pathway.
Authorities said the victims are a 47-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man. Their identities have not been released.
“We don’t have any information at this point that there was anyone else outside of the two victims.”
