One person has been taken to hospital after a shooting in Toronto, police say.
Toronto police said the incident occurred at around 4:50 p.m. on Tuesday in the area of Markham and Ellesmere roads.
Officers said one victim in their 20s had been shot.
Speaking at the scene on Tuesday, police said the shooting involved two vehicles driving northbound on Dolly Varden Boulevard, a road that runs along the side of Confederation Park.
Investigators said it wasn’t clear what led to the incident but one person in an SUV allegedly shot the driver of a black car. The driver of the car was shot and their vehicle came “to rest” against a tree, according to police.
A second person in the black car was able to escape uninjured. Police said that person, and several bystanders, called 911.
Toronto paramedics said a man was taken to a trauma centre in critical condition with life-threatening injuries.
Suspect information was not immediately available. Anyone with information is asked to contact Toronto police.
