Toronto police are searching for at least one suspect after a shooting in the city’s Riverdale neighbourhood late Friday evening.

Officers were called to the Jones Avenue and Strathcona Avenue area, south of Danforth Avenue, just before 10:45 p.m. for reports of gunshots.

Police say they located two male youths with injuries. One victim needed urgent care and was transported to a hospital via an emergency run. The other victim was also brought to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

A third teen was located a short while later with a non-life threatening gunshot wound.

Officers believe the suspects fled in a vehicle. No descriptions were immediately available.
