Toronto police say a 21-year-old man was rushed to hospital in serious condition after being shot on Sunday.
His condition has since improved and he is in stable condition.
Police were called just before 5:30 p.m on Sunday to the area of Queen Street West and Niagara Street for multiple reports of a shooting.
“Our victim was able to run away northbound and he was found a couple of blocks north of the shooting location,” said Toronto police Duty Insp. Stacey Davis.
The victim was walking in a group when the gunfire broke out.
Police said investigators are looking for a possible suspect who was seen fleeing on foot. They were described as wearing black clothes and a face covering that could have been a bandana.
Police are asking anyone with information to contact them at 416-808-1400 or 416-808-2222.
