Just as we thought the gunplay had subsided due to COVID-19, the bullets are flying again.
Police are busy investigating six shootings in Toronto on Friday and Saturday including one right here at Lake Shore Blvd. W. and Islington Ave.
Detectives are searching for as many as three suspects in connection with the 11 p.m. Saturday shooting in south Etobicoke in which two victims were found suffering from serious gunshot wounds.
Paramedics say one man has been taken to a trauma centre in life-threatening condition while a second man has serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
The three suspects are described as a white male wearing a black hoodie, a second male wearing a dark grey hoodie and a third male wearing a black hoodie. All three were seen fleeing the original scene of the shooting in a black coloured four-door sedan.
Police said the shooting is believed to have taken place on Garnett Janes Road before the two drove themselves to where they were found by police and paramedics.
Police in a news conference say five people were also injured after another shooting around 10:20 p.m. Friday in the Jane St. and Woolner Ave. area. One person was left in critical condition in that gunfire.
Police say a small grey or silver sedan came to Woolner Ave., just before the shots were fired.
There has been no arrests.
