Toronto police are investigating after evidence of gunfire was found at a restaurant in downtown Toronto on Wednesday and Thursday.
Police were called to the area of Wellington Street and Spadina Avenue shortly after noon on Wednesday and found bullet holes in the glass door of Animl Steakhouse.
Police say it is unclear when the shooting occurred, and no injuries have been reported.
Around 1:00 a.m. Thursday morning, officers responded to a call for the sound of gunshots at the same location and found fresh evidence of gunfire and damage to the building. No injuries were reported.
Police say they cannot confirm if the two incidents are connected.
On Thursday afternoon the glass on the front door of the restaurant had been removed and the opening was boarded up. Clean up crews were inside along with staff but declined to comment.
There is no suspect information or other details available for either of the incidents at this time.
