TORONTO -- A man in his 20s is in hospital after a shooting in North York Saturday afternoon.
Toronto police were called to a gas station near Yonge Street and Poyntz Avenue, south of Sheppard Avenue West, around 5:15 p.m.
Sgt. Phil Mendoza said when officers arrived, they found a man suffering from a gunshot wound to his leg.
He was transported to Sunnybrook Hospital in serious but non-life-threatening condition.
Mendoza said police believe the victim drove himself to the gas station and asked the attendant to call 911.
The shooting happened less than two kilometres away near Sheppard Avenue West and Don River Boulevard, east of Bathurst Street.
Police responded to that area just after 5 p.m. for reports of a shot fired.
Witnesses told officers that four men got into a vehicle and drove off at high speed.
There were no victims at that scene, according to police.
Mendoza said they did not find evidence of gunfire at the gas station, but a bullet hole was located in the victim’s car.
Police have not released any suspect description at this time.
Mendoza said they are reviewing surveillance video at the gas station and seeking for witnesses.
Anyone with information is being asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
