Toronto Police are looking for a gunman after two people were shot and a third sustained “other injuries” in Rexdale Tuesday morning.
The call came in around 8:30 a.m. for a shooting at Tandridge Cres. and Albion Rd. where police located two men suffering gunshot wounds in a residential building. A woman was also located with stab wounds.
“They found obvious signs of blood in the hallway,” said Supt. Ron Taverner at the scene.
“Upon further examination, they found an apartment where it appeared there had been a shooting and there were two male victims that had been shot and a female victim that had received stab wounds.”
Taverner said all three have serious, but non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to hospital.
Police searched the building for a gun, but a weapon has yet to be recovered. They’re not looking for any other suspects.
“Obviously, it’s very concerning that a shooting is taking place at 8:30 in the morning in a very busy area, very busy building here,” added Taverner.

“A lot of children in the building. This could have taken a drastic turn to something much more serious than it is now. There have been shootings in this area in the past. When we’re talking about public safety, we’re talking about another gun being out there now.”
A nearby school — Braeburn Junior School — was in hold and secure, but that was lifted at 11 a.m., said Toronto District School Board spokesman Ryan Bird.
