Student, 15, in critical condition after shooting outside Toronto high school Police unable to say if shooting was targeted, no suspect information available A student was rushed to hospital in critical condition Thursday after a shooting outside a northwest Toronto high school, police and the school board say.
Toronto police investigators say the victim was found at Weston Collegiate Institute near Pine Street and MacDonald Avenue just after noon. Ryan Bird, spokesperson for the Toronto District School Board (TDSB), said the victim was a 15-year-old student who was in Grade 10 at the school.
Speaking to reporters outside the school, Insp. Ryan Forde said "unknown males" drove into the school's parking lot and shot the victim in the upper chest area.
"After he was shot, he ran back into the school … where he was tended to by teachers and faculty at the school," Forde said.
Emergency services were called in, and the victim was rushed to hospital in critical condition. Forde said his injuries appeared to be life-threatening. No one else was injured.
The suspects took off in an unknown direction, Forde said. Police do not yet have any suspect or vehicle descriptions. It is unclear if the victim knew his attackers, he said.
"I cannot confirm or deny that this was a targeted shooting at this time," Forde said.
Investigators are asking anyone with security camera video from the area to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
