What in the world is going on in the GTA? Police and residents across the city are asking each other that question after the third shooting in the city in less than five hours. In addition, in Mississauga a man was shot to death in broad daylight this afternoon. So far the shooting at Jane & Finch has produced one fatality - shot in the head. A man was also stabbed to death at Sheppard and Kennedy.The first commanded the attention of parents and students just after noon, when a 16-year-old boy was struck down by bullets at Bendale Business and Technical Institute on Midland Ave. Toronto Police are seeking up to three suspects in that shocking case.
And then, just before 5pm, their colleagues in Peel wound up hearing sirens of their own, after someone was hit by bullets in Mississauga.
Shots rang out at Morning Star and Reindeer Drive near Derry and Airport Roads (top left). It's not clear who was hit but police confirm the victim in that case has been seriously wounded.
The scene is only a block away from a drive-by shooting that forced the lockdown of several schools in the area the day before. No one was hit in that incident.
Minutes later, more bullets found their mark. A victim who's believed to be around 16 was shot in the head at 4400 Jane St. near Finch just after 5pm. The incident reportedly took place on a basketball court. Some sources indicate the wounded party is a male and that he has been pronounced dead at the scene.
There's no word on motives in any of the shootings or whether the latest one might be related to what happened at the school earlier in the day.
