Toronto Police are investigating a shooting in North York’s Lawrence Heights neighbourhood that killed one man and sent five others to a hospital Tuesday evening.
Police were called to the Flemington Road and Zachary Court area just after 8:30 p.m. Tuesday for reports of gunshots.
Toronto Police Service (TPS) say a man in his 40s was killed, while four other men and one woman were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Speaking to media late Tuesday night, Duty Senior Officer Baheer Sarvanandan says there are multiple suspects involved, and there are no risks to public safety.
He also says that the investigation could take several hours as more information is being gathered.
Police are setting up a command post in the Ranee Avenue and Flemington Road area, south of Yorkdale mall.
“Disturbed by news of the shootings in the Lawrence Heights area this evening,” wrote Mayor Olivia Chow on social media Tuesday evening.
