Gunfire erupted in several areas of the city overnight but miraculously only one man was injured.
Toronto Police say officers responded to three separate shooting scenes – on in Scarborough and two in North York – in a span of just over two hours.
But it was not immediately known if any of the violent incidents are connected.
Gunshots initially rang out near Ellesmere Rd. and Dolly Varden Blvd. – west of Markham Rd. – around 9:30 p.m. on Friday.
Responding officers found numerous shell casings and several vehicles that sustained damage but nobody was hurt, police say.
Just over an hour later, around 10:40 p.m., shots rang out again near Lawrence Ave. W. and Dufflaw Rd. – west of Dufferin St. – but this time it was the occupants of two vehicles shooting at each other.
The two vehicles crashed into fence and the occupants ran off, police say.
Both vehicles were found with bullet holes but there were no reported injuries.
Officers responded to yet another shooting an hour later on John Cabot Way – near Jane St. and Sheppard Ave.
It’s believed someone in a vehicle pulled into the roundabout at an apartment building and shot at a parked vehicle, police say.
Officers located multiple shell casings as well as bullet holes in a car and two nearby townhouses.
There were no injuries, police say.
The only person injured by gunfire overnight was an 18-year-old man who walked into a Toronto hospital with a gunshot wound to his arm around 12:50 a.m.
It’s unknown if his injury is connected to any of the three overnight shootings, police say.Please share this
