A man was seriously injured following a shooting in Flemingdon Park.
Police were called to a complex on St. Dennis Drive, just off Don Mills Road near the Ontario Science Centre around 7:30 p.m. following reports of shots being fired.
Upon arriving, police located evidence of gunfire outside the building that houses a public library and licensed day care centre along with a victim who was transported to a trauma centre in serious condition.
Police say the suspect arrived in an older model Honda Civic and fled eastbound on St. Dennis Drive after the shooting.
Police add there are a number of security cameras in the area which should give them a better idea of who they are looking for and what actually happened.
“Because the victim is currently being treated in hospital we haven’t been able to speak with him yet so we haven’t been able to learn what happened from his perspective,” said Insp. Jim Gotell. “But we do know from witnesses that were here that he appears to have run towards the library to evade the shots that were being fired at him.”
