North York shooting leaves teen with serious injuries
An 18-year-old man was taken to hospital with serious injuries following a shooting in North York late Thursday night.
Police said they were called to the area of Chalkfarm Drive and Jane Street after gunshots were heard in the area around 11:18 p.m.
They arrived to find one person suffering with a gunshot wound.
Toronto Paramedic Services said they transported one person to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Toronto police said the victim is an 18-year-old man.
Images from the scene showed multiple evidence markers on the ground in the parking lot, and what appeared to be a bullet hole in the glass doors of the building.
Police could be seen unfurling caution tape around an area that included a section of the parking lot with multiple parked vehicles.
A firearm was recovered at the shooting scene, a police source confirmed to CP24. There was also an exchange of gunfire in a shootout, the source said.
Police said a light-coloured vehicle was seen fleeing the area. There is no suspect description so far.
"We regret the recent incident at 170 Chalkfarm Drive. As the matter is currently under investigation by the Toronto Police, we are limited in what we can share at this time," a spokesperson for the building management said in a statement.
"However, we want to assure the community that we have a comprehensive security model in place, which is continually being strengthened to ensure the comfort and safety of our residents. Recent developments are part of our ongoing efforts to enhance security, and we are actively engaging with the community and local authorities to support these initiatives."
Investigators are asking anyone with information to reach out to police or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
