Toronto police are investigating after two men were injured in separate west-end shootings that happened little more than one kilometre apart.
A 20-year-old man was shot in the hand and backside near the basketball courts at Dufferin Grove Park, near Dufferin and Bloor Streets, around 10:20 p.m.
He was rushed to St. Michael's Hospital with injuries that are considered not life-threatening.
Police say two men were having an argument when shots were fired. There were several witnesses to the incident but they are not being co-operative with investigators, police said.
Just over an hour later, police responded to calls of a possible drive-by shooting at Close Avenue, near King Street and Jameson Avenue.
Police say an 18-year-old man was shot in the foot in the yard of Queen Victoria Junior Public School. He was taken to hospital for treatment.
Witnesses report the shot came from a car driving past the school. No one has been arrested.
Police currently consider the two shootings unrelated.
