Toronto police say a man has life-threatening injuries after a shooting in the city’s downtown on Friday.
Emergency crews were called to the area of Spadina Avenue and Dundas Street West at around 6:40 p.m. with reports the man was shot.
A spokesperson told Global News Toronto Paramedics rushed the man to a trauma centre in critical condition with a police escort.
Police said officers are looking for a male suspect in connection with the incident.
Ermyas Ghebre told reporters he lives close to where the shooting took place. He said he heard screaming for an extended period of time before the shooting.
“An hour later, the police were kicking our door in and saying there was a shooting and then when we went into the hallway it looked like a warzone,” he said.
