It happened on Cherokee Boulevard, in the area of Victoria Park and Finch avenues, shortly before 3 a.m. Toronto police said multiple residents in the area called police to report the sound of gunshots.
Toronto Paramedic Services said they were called to the area and that they subsequently rushed one adult to hospital with critical injuries.
