  • On Wednesday, police say a shooting near York Memorial Collegiate Institute injured a teenage boy and a woman driving through the area, with officers arriving quickly to provide life-saving aid.
  • Toronto police Supt. Rich Harris said two groups of three to four individuals exchanged gunfire across Keele Street, an incident police described as "targeted" in broad daylight.
  • Officers arrested a young person at the scene and recovered a gun and loaded magazine, while Toronto police investigate two crime scenes, including one on school property, urging locals to call 808-1200 with video tips.
