It was a shootout worthy of the wild west in the Beaches on Sunday afternoon.
Around 2:30 p.m. police say shots were fired in the Woodbine Ave. and Kingston Rd. area.
A short time later, a car containing the victims reportedly showed up on Queen St. E. just east of Woodbine.
Paramedics transported one victim, found inside the Queen St. E Wine Rack store suffering gunshot wounds to his lower body, to hospital.
A second victim found nearby was also rushed to St. Mike’s, reportedly suffering multiple gunshot wounds.
An Audi SUV with visible bullet holes was parked in front of the Wine Rack, surrounded by police tape.
Further east along Queen St. at Elmer, police were occupied with a Mercedes left with its doors open halfway into the roadway, next to what appeared to be a sideswiped taxicab.
Witnesses said two men were seen running from the Mercedes towards Elmer Ave., but police managed to take them both into custody.
Three guns were recovered — one found discarded in a salt bucket on an Elmer Ave. property.
Police closed eastbound traffic on Queen East and Woodbine Avenue between Queen and Dundas during their investigation.
The scenario unfolded quickly, with witnesses barely able to register the gunshots before the scene was awash in emergency crews.
Stacey, who lives in the area, had just arrived home when the gunfire erupted.
