Police say 23 people are in custody after at least 100 shots were fired in an exchange of gunfire outside a West Queen West recording studio on Monday night.
The gunfire erupted in the area of Queen Street West and Sudbury Street at around 11:20 p.m.
During a news conference on Tuesday morning, Deputy Chief Lauren Pogue told reporters that officers were in the area for an unrelated investigation when the gunfire broke out.
Pogue said occupants of a stolen vehicle pulled up to a recording studio in the neighbourhood and three suspects exited the vehicle, opening fire on a group who had gathered outside the building.
“This brazen act of violence escalated into an exchange of gunfire between two groups,” Pogue said.
The bullets struck an unmarked police cruiser with plainclothes police officers inside, she added.
Despite the barrage of bullets, no one was injured during the shootout, police said.
