5 people seriously injured in shooting in North York

 Five people, including a woman and two men, were seriously injured after two suspects began "indiscriminantly" shooting at people in North York Friday night, Toronto police say.

Police say the woman is in her 50s, one of the men is in his 30s, while the other is in his 40s. The sex and ages of the other two victims was not immediately known.

One of the men is listed in life-threatening condition, although it's not yet clear yet which one.

Shortly before 10:30 p.m., police received reports of multiple gunshots in the area of Jane Street and Woolner Avenue.

When officers arrived at the scene they found three victims in serious condition. One of the victims was transported to a trauma centre, while the other two were taken to a local hospital.

Police later said two other victims made their way to hospital on their own.

Police say the victims were shot by two men in a grey or silver sedan who were shooting indiscriminately. Both suspects drove away after the shooting.

Police described the crime scene as "large."

'No regard for human life'
Initial reports indicate that the suspects with "no regard for human life just took it upon themselves to shoot out of their vehicle at anybody who was in the area," Insp. Norm Proctor told reporters at the scene Friday evening.

"It was completely reckless."

Proctor said at this point, there is no evidence that the victims shot back at any time during the incident.

Proctor said police would like to speak with the multiple witnesses that were on scene that had left.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police or leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers.
