1 dead, 4 injured after shooting outside Toronto school
One person is dead and four others are injured after a shooting outside of a school in northwest Toronto late Sunday.
Toronto police said emergency crews were called to the area of Kipling Avenue and Mount Olive Drive, just north of Finch Avenue West, at 10:53 p.m. for reports of a shooting.
Five people were found with gunshot wounds and were taken to hospital.
Police initially said one of the victims, a man in his 50s, had life-threatening injuries while the other victims were reported to have serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
Toronto paramedics told Global News they transported five adults to hospital: two were in critical condition and the other three were in serious condition.
In an update, police said one of the victims had died and the homicide unit is now investigating.
Police said a black truck was seen fleeing the area.
The shooting happened outside of North Albion Collegiate Institute and the Toronto District School Board said in a post on X that the school and on-site daycare would be closed Monday, with students moving to remote learning for the day.
Further information about the incident wasn’t immediately available.
As a result of the police investigation outside North Albion CI this morning, the school (and on-site daycare) will be closed to students and staff today with students moving to remote learning for the day.
