Teen seriously injured in north-west Toronto shooting
A teen has been seriously injured in a shooting on Monday night in north-west Toronto.
Duty Insp. Brian Maslowski said officers attended the area just before 6:25 p.m. after several residents called police to report hearing the sound of gunshots near Clearview Heights and Tretheway Drive, which is north of Eglinton Avenue West and east of Black Creek Drive.
He said at the scene, police located a teen with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.
The victim was taken to a local trauma centre for treatment, Maslowski said.
Paramedics told CP24 that they rushed one person to the hospital in serious, but non-life-threatening, condition.
"The information that we have at this point is that this teen was southbound on Clearview Heights, and there was a red sedan that was northbound on Clearview Heights, and when the red sedan came up to the teen victim and the occupant, or occupants, in that red sedan started shooting at the victim," Maslowski said.
He said that the vehicle's driver then drove away from the area.
Maslowski said police do not know the make or model of the red sedan, which he said has tinted windows.
"We have our multiple teams working after tracking down this suspect or suspects," he said, adding that all appropriate resources are being put towards finding the perpetrators at the crime, "and we'll get them."
Roads in the vicinity are closed as police investigate.
This is the second shooting that happened in that area in recent months. In October, a 26-year-old died after being shot in the stairwell of an apartment building on Clearview Heights.
Anyone with informtion is asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
