Gunshots rang out in the area of Tandridge Crescent and Byng Avenue shortly before 8 p.m. and emergency crews arrived on scene to find four victims, including a one-year-old child, a five-year-old girl, an 11-year-old boy, and a 23-year-old man, suffering from gunshot wounds.

They were transported to hospital via emergency run with injuries ranging from minor to critical.......The family of the five-year-old girl, who initially suffered life-threatening injuries, told CP24 that she is now in stable condition.

The one-year-old, who was grazed by a bullet, has been released from hospital.....Speaking at the scene on Sunday afternoon, Supt. Ron Taverner said that the 11-year-old boy was shot in the buttock and is expected to make a full recovery.

Taverner was unable to provide an update on the condition of the 23-year-old wounded in the shooting, but investigators told CP24 on Saturday that he sustained a gunshot wound to the leg.

“Obviously a horrific, horrific set of events.... I've been a police officer for a number of years and this is one of the most disturbing scenes when you see young people like this indiscriminately shot. It's disgusting,” he said.

“Our hearts go out to the community. It's a terrible situation for anyone that lives in this area.”
