One person was killed and at least two others were injured in a series of shootings in Toronto overnight.<\/p>\n
At around 1:30 a.m., a man walked into a bar on Jane Street, near Lawrence Avenue, and opened fire, police said.<\/p>\n Two men were shot. One was pronounced dead at the scene while the other was taken to a trauma centre with multiple gunshot wounds. He remains in hospital in serious condition, said Toronto police Insp. Jim Gotell\u00a0from the scene.<\/p>\n No further information about the deceased victim was immediately available.<\/p>\n Investigators spent the night searching for security camera video from nearby businesses. Gotell asked that any witnesses who left the area after the shooting come forward.<\/p>\n “We know that people were inside the bar and we know that people did leave the bar prior to police arrival,” he said.<\/p>\n Gotell added that it was too early in the investigation to provide any kind of suspect description.<\/p>\n Hours earlier at around 11 p.m. Wednesday, gunfire was heard\u00a0in the area of Lawrence Avenue W. and Dufferin\u00a0Street.<\/p>\n Shortly after, a vehicle riddled with bullet holes showed up at the nearby Humber River Hospital and a male made his way inside.<\/p>\n He was then transferred to the trauma centre at Sunnybrook Hospital with critical injuries.<\/p>\n At about 9:45 p.m., a white car pulled into the parking lot of a Toronto Community Housing complex\u00a0on Grandravine Driver near Jane Street and at least one person inside started shooting.<\/p>\n At least two homes were struck by bullets, though no injuries were reported.<\/p>\n The car then sped away from the area.<\/p>\n Officers at the scene found at least 30 shell casings. Police said that closed-circuit cameras may have captured parts of the shooting.<\/p>\n The same complex was the scene of a\u00a0double shooting on Oct. 1 that left two men dead.<\/p>\n
