Residents of a quiet south Etobicoke street were startled awake early Tuesday by dozens of gunshots, leaving one man with serious injuries and scores more fearing for their lives.
“It was crazy, this is a quiet street,” one neighbour told theSun.
The shooting started just after 4:30 a.m. outside a ‘clandestine’ bar in an alley off Eighth Ave. and Lake Shore Blvd.
Nearly 80 shots were fired, police said — a tally backed up by residents.
“The street was littered with bullet casings,” said a resident. “All hell broke loose.”
Even a day later on Wednesday morning, bullet holes could be seen in cars parked along the tree-lined street.
The organizer of the event held at the booze-can told CP24 it was a gender-reveal party.
Police have yet to determine a motive or suspects for the shooting.
Meanwhile, nobody was hurt after shots rang out in Scarborough overnight.
Just after 5:10 a.m., police received reports of a drive-by shooting near Chester Le Blvd. and Pettibone Sq.
Police say callers reported suspects shooting out of a moving vehicle.
A white SUV was seen fleeing the area.
Police say a number of houses in the area were struck by gunfire, but nobody was injured.
The investigation continues.
Anybody with information should call police or Crime Stoppers.
