Toronto police are searching for two suspects following a shooting in Rexdale on Tuesday morning.
Officers and paramedics were called to the area of Silverstone Drive and Mount Olive Drive, near Finch Avenue West and Kipling Avenue, just after 7:30 a.m.
It’s not clear where the shooting occurred but police had taped off an area outside a couple of residences that are part of a Toronto Community Housing complex.
Upon arrival, officers found the injured man in his 40s and paramedics transported him to a hospital. Emergency responders tell 680 NewsRadio the man’s injuries are serious but not life-threatening.
Police say two suspects fled the scene before officers arrived. They were last seen heading north on Silverstone, possibly in a black SUV.
It’s the second shooting police are investigating in Rexdale since the morning. Earlier, officers were called to a residential area near Finch Avenue West and Humberline Drive after gunfire struck a home and several parked vehicles. It’s not yet known if the two shootings are connected at this point.
