Two men shot in Jane-Finch area of Toronto

TORONTO - Two men who were shot outside a Jane-Finch apartment complex Saturday may have been innocent bystanders, police say.

The men, both in their 50s, were standing at the back of 400 Driftwood Ave. around 10:15 p.m. when gunfire erupted.

“Two suspects approached and there was some gunfire,” Toronto Police Staff-Sgt. Ken Boyle said Sunday. “They were both hit. We don’t know at this time if they were targeted or if they were just hit. It appears that they might have just been struck.”

One victim was hit in the leg, treated and then released, while the other was struck in his upper arm and remains in hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

“The one released is being co-operative,” Boyle said.

Toronto Police are looking for two suspects, both male and black, but don’t have a more detailed description.

A weapon was not recovered at the scene.

Boyle wouldn’t elaborate whether the two victims lived in the apartment complex, but said they did not know the suspects.

Anyone with information is asked to call 31 Division at 416-808-3100.
