A man was seriously injured in a shooting in North York late Thursday night.

Police responded to several calls for a shooting in the area of Falstaff and Springview avenues shortly after 11:30 p.m.

Callers reported hearing multiple gunshots and people were reportedly screaming and fleeing from the area. There were also reports of vehicles fleeing from the scene.

Police found a male victim suffering from gunshot wounds and his injuries are considered serious.

A nearby residential building was also damaged due to the gunfire.

Police say they believe the suspects fled the scene northbound on Jane Street in a white Honda Civic. No other descriptions were immediately available.

Police were called to this area for another shooting just eight days ago on July 22. There was no immediate word if the two incidents are connected.
