Road rage incident may have led to drive-by shooting in downtown Toronto that injured 2 people

Speaking to reporters at the scene, Duty Insp. Michelle Olszevski said a group of people was standing outside 7 Charles Street West when a vehicle pulled up and a suspect, or suspects, opened fire.

Police initially said there were “multiple victims” following the shooting. In an update, police said two victims, a man and a woman both in their 20s, were transported to a local trauma centre with serious injuries. Olszevski explained that leading up to the shooting, officers in the area responded to a call for stunt driving on Yonge Street involving “several” vehicles.

Investigators believe some of the drivers and passengers involved in the stunt driving incident then travelled to 7 Charles Street West and exited their vehicles, at which point the suspect vehicle pulled up and shots were fired.A Toronto Police Service forensics officer inspects the scene of a shooting in Toronto on Monday, July 10, 2023.

A witness told CP24 she heard a group of people talking loudly outside her apartment before she went out for a morning walk.“I was scared. I just rushed. I couldn’t look back,” she told CP24, adding members of the group then started “running to save themselves.”
