Toronto police are investigating after two people were hurt in two separate shootings on Thursday evening.
The first call came in at around 9:45 p.m. for a report that a man had been found with gunshot wounds in the Yonge and Wellesley streets area.
When officers arrived, they found a man outside a rehab hospital. He was suffering from serious gunshot-related injuries and rushed to a trauma hospital.
Police said the victim had been dropped off outside the rehab hospital by someone, and the actual shooting took place on Chester Hill Road, north of the Danforth.
Multiple shots had been heard in the area and there had been reports of a silver or white vehicle fleeing the area at high speed.
A short time later, at around 10 p.m., police said they were called to a report of gunfire in the area of Jane Street and Yorkwoods Gate.
Police said four males were crossing the street when a car pulled up and someone opened fire.
