Police did not share information about any suspects.
The shooting was reported a few hours after a memorial for the victims of the Danforth mass shooting in 2018, which was held less than a block away. Two people were killed and 13 injured in that shooting.
Police have not released any information to suggest the two events are connected.
Ken Price, whose daughter was shot and injured in the 2018 attack, said he had planned on decompressing on Sunday after mentally preparing for the anniversary.
But when he and his family woke up, they learned about the latest shooting.
“It’s jarring,” he said.
