It’s been everything but quiet in the city this Victoria Day weekend with a shooting, stabbing and a hit-and-run that killed a pedestrian on Saturday. Now, reports have emerged of another shooting that left one person dead and another in hospital early Monday morning.
Preliminary investigations have revealed the targeted vehicle was traveling southbound on Weston Road between Finch and Sheppard around 4am when a suspect vehicle pulled up next to it and opened fired striking both victims inside the car. A man was pronounced dead a short time later. But, the woman survived and her injuries are considered non-life-threatening.
Investigators had to block off a huge section of Weston Road as they searched for evidence. Names and ages of the victims have not been released and there’s no word yet on suspects.
