Toronto police have laid multiple charges against a 17-year-old male in connection with a brazen daytime shooting that left two people injured near a high school in the city’s west end.

The incident occurred on Wednesday, Sept. 3, just before noon, when officers responded to reports of gunfire in the Keele Street and Donald Avenue area. According to investigators, two groups exchanged gunfire across Keele Street — in broad daylight and directly in front of York Memorial Collegiate Institute, which was placed in lockdown as a result.

A 31-year-old woman, who was driving through the area, was struck by gunfire. The 17-year-old male, now facing charges, also sustained a gunshot wound. Both were transported to the hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
