A 31-year-old man has remarkably survived after he was shot 10 times in North York on Monday night, just a few hours after a downtown vigil calling for a gun-free Toronto.
Police were called to the Frontline Sugar restaurant on Wilson Avenue, east of Weston Road, for reports of gunfire around 10 p.m. Officers didn’t find a victim at the scene.
The man had been dropped off at a nearby hospital, apparently in a white car that was cordoned off outside the building. Police claim he was shot in the parking lot behind the restaurant.
The victim underwent surgery and is said to be in stable condition.
Investigators are still searching for a suspect, described as black and 24 to 25 years old. He was wearing a grey T-shirt and Capri jeans.
The gunfire erupted after a vigil calling for an end to gun violence was held at Yonge-Dundas Square in the wake of the Eaton Centre shooting that claimed two lives.
