Man critically injured in Danforth shooting

A man was taken to hospital with serious injuries after a shooting at The Danforth.

Around 8:40 p.m., Toronto police said they responded to reports of shots fired in the area of ​​Danforth Road and Main Street.

Officers responded and found a man with gunshot wounds.

He was then transported to hospital by Toronto Paramedics, police said.

So far, there is no information about possible suspects.

Roads in the area are closed while police investigate the shooting.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact investigators.

The shooting marks at least the third incident of gun violence in the city this weekend, following two shootings just hours apart in the Entertainment District Saturday night and overnight.

One shooting just outside the Scotiabank Arena killed a man, while the other at a club on King Street West seriously injured a man and woman in their 20s.
