Triple shooting outside downtown Toronto hotel sends 2 men, 1 woman to hospital

Three people were injured, including one critically, following an overnight shooting in downtown Toronto’s Entertainment District.

Emergency crews were called to the Bisha Hotel on Blue Jays Way, just north of Wellington Street, around 3 a.m. Tuesday.

Police say the shooting happened on the street outside the hotel.

Duty Inspector Maher Abdel-Malik said two people were taken to the hospital; a man in his 30s with critical injuries and a woman in her 20s with minor injuries. Police say another man in his 30s with minor injuries walked into a hospital on his own.

“Those individuals were treated at the scene,” said Insp. Abdel-Malik. “There are at least two suspects that were [at] the scene. We’re asking for members of the public for their assistance.”

Insp. Abdel-Malik said investigators believe this was a targeted shooting.

Vehicle at the scene riddled with bullet holes

A blue Kia sedan could be seen parked on the street with a shattered rear driver’s side window and around 13 shell casings spread all over the road.

The car belongs to a man who had parked it on the street overnight while he was at work.

“My car is shot full of holes,” said Ryan, the owner of the vehicle. “I work night shifts and came out here wondering what was happening.”

A bullet hole could also be seen in a window of the Bisha Hotel.
