The incident marks the third shooting in Toronto over the weekend. A man was fatally shot near Scotiabank Arena on Saturday night, leading to a lockdown of Union Station. On the same night, a man and woman, both in their 20s, were victims in a King Street West nightclub shooting, sustaining life-threatening injuries.
“Any gun violence in our city is unacceptable,” Mayor John Tory told the media. “My thoughts are with those mourning a loved one today in the wake of one shooting and the family and friends praying for the recovery of those injured.”
