Shooting outside Toronto high school leaves 1 person dead, 1 teen boy injured
CBC
A shooting outside an east-end Toronto high school Monday afternoon left one person dead and one teenager in hospital, police say.
Police say they received a call about a male shot outside Woburn Collegiate Institute shortly before 3:30 p.m.
Officers attempted life-saving measures and the male was rushed to hospital, but later died, they say.
Not long after, a second male walked into a hospital, also suffering from gunshot wounds. He has since been transported to a trauma hospital, they say.
Toronto police acting Duty Insp. Lori Kranenburg said both victims are believed to be teenagers, but she could not confirm if either victim was a student at the school.
Police are appealing for witnesses and for anyone who may have cellphone or dashcam video to contact them.
Police say the shooter was last seen fleeing westbound from the area. He is described as a male wearing a black jacket and a "COVID mask."
The Toronto District School Board said Woburn Collegiate Institute and neighbouring Woburn Junior Public School were both placed in lockdown, but the lockdowns have since lifted.
