Two teens have been seriously injured following reports of a shooting in East York.
Police say they responded to reports of multiple gunshots fired at the rear of a building on Cosburn Avenue just east of Pape Avenue around 9 p.m.
Police say they located two victims, a 15-year-old boy and a 16-year-old boy, suffering from gunshot wounds to the torso.
Paramedics say they transported the victims to a trauma centre in serious but non-life threatening condition.
One of the victims was shot in the chest. The other was shot in the stomach. Both are expected to live.
No word yet on what may have led to the shooting but police say a while male suspect, likely in his late teens or early 20s, was seen fleeing the area on foot.
