Two men are recovering after what police describe was a targeted shooting in Toronto’s Yorkdale neighbourhood Friday night.
Police said they were called following reports of gunshots at a gasoline station near Dufferin Street and Glen Belle Crescent just before 11 p.m.
When officers arrived, they located two men in their 20s with suffering from gunshot wounds. They were transported to hospital in serious but non-life threatening condition.
Police say despite some earlier reports, the two victims were not shooting at each other, but rather they were followed into the gas station by a third person.
Police say they are searching for one suspect who fled the scene in a vehicle. While they have yet to release a description, police add there is a lot of video surveillance, both in the gas station and the surrounding area, to assist them in the investigation.
