There they found a boy in his mid-teens suffering from gunshot wounds. The teen was rushed to hospital and police say his injuries “appear to be life threatening.”
Police are looking for a black car seen fleeing the scene.
The area is closed for investigation.
This is the second shooting in the city on Monday. Around 3:50 p.m., a 17-year-old boy was shot in the stomach at Yorkgate Mall at Jane St. and Finch Ave. W.
He was taken to hospital with serious, “possibly life-threatening” injuries.
