Three people have been rushed to hospital after a triple-shooting in the city’s north end.
Emergency crews were called just after 9 p.m. Friday night to a strip mall on Kipling Ave. at Rowntree Rd. — between Steeles and Finch — after shots rang out.
Once there, emergency crews found three victims suffering gunshot wounds in the parking lot, one without vital signs.
Police taped off a car in the plaza’s parking lot, riddled with numerous bullet holes and surrounded by shards of broken glass.
The victims were rushed to Sunnybrook via an emergency run.
Toronto Paramedic Services tells the Sun two of the victims were transported in serious condition, one with life-threatening injuries.
The plaza where the shooting took place is just blocks away from Toronto police’s 23 divisions station at Finch and Kipling.
The triple shooting was just one of numerous violent incidents that occurred over an eight-hour span:
– One person was injured in a stabbing in Scarborough, near Victoria Park Ave. and Lawrence Ave. E., late Friday.
– Two people were hurt in a stabbing downtown, near Wellesley St. E. and Bleecker St., early Saturday.
– One person was injured in a stabbing in North York, near Jane St. and Firgrove Cr., early Saturday.
– One person was injured when a car was shot up in Lawrence Heights, near Lawrence Ave. W. and Dufferin St., early Saturday.
This latest violence comes just days after a rash of shootings in the city – eight in approximately 36 hours – two resulting in the city’s 94th and 95th homicides of 2018.
