1 person critical following shooting in Toronto’s Weston area, suspect at-large

Toronto police say a suspect is outstanding.

One person has been rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries after being shot in Toronto’s Weston area late Wednesday afternoon.

Police say shortly before 6 p.m. they received reports of multiple gunshots heard on Weston Road, just north of Lawrence Avenue West.

There, Toronto police say a victim was found with injuries and taken to the hospital via emergency run.

Paramedics later told CP24 that they transported one patient to the hospital with “serious, life-threatening injuries.”

CP24’s Sijia Liu spoke to one witness, a local business owner, who said she saw a guy holding his face as he ran away from the scene.

Police said they’re now searching for a Black male with short hair, a medium to heavy build, and last seen wearing all-black clothing.

The motive for this shooting remains unclear.

Weston is currently closed in both directions at Lawrence as the investigation continues.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Toronto police at 416-808-2222 or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
