One person was killed and four others were hurt in a shooting outside an Etobicoke high school late Sunday, Toronto police say.
The shooting happened just before 11 p.m. in the rear parking lot area of North Albion Collegiate Institute, near the corner of Mount Olive Drive and Kipling Avenue, police said.
Responding officers found five people with gunshot wounds. A man in his 50s taken to a trauma centre with life-threatening injuries, while the other four people went to hospital with non-life threatening injuries, police said around midnight.
One of those people later died in hospital, but police did not say which one. The homicide unit is investigating.
A black truck was seen speeding away from the area after the shooting, according to police.
The Toronto District School Board said North Albion would be closed to students and staff Monday, with students moving to online learning instead.
Sunday’s fatal shooting was the second to happen in the parking lot of a school in the last several weeks. On May 22, a man in his 40s was killed and another man in his 20s was injured after gunfire erupted in the parking lot of Settler’s Green Public School in Mississauga.
More to come.
