Toronto police say one person has been shot and killed, and a second person injured, at a Toronto Community Housing building in the city’s east end.
Emergency crews were called to the building at 4301 Kingston Road near Lawrence Avenue East and Morningside Avenue around 12:30 p.m. on Monday for the sounds of gunshots.
Police say they located a man with gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
A second man was found in the area suffering from gunshot wounds. He was taken to hospital with serious but non life-threatening injuries.
An officer on scene said the man is a suspect and is in police custody at hospital, but at this point “his medical needs are taking precedent.”
Police have not yet announced any charges and can’t say if any other suspects are outstanding.
