A young man is fighting for his life after a shooting in North York early Sunday morning. Police responded to reports of a disturbance and gunshots near Steeles Avenue and Highway 400 around 4:30 a.m., discovering a man critically wounded at the scene.
Emergency services immediately transported the victim to a hospital, where he remains in life-threatening condition. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are seeking any information related to the incident.
Hours later, in a separate incident, a man was stabbed in north Etobicoke. Police were called to the area of Lockheed Boulevard and Westona Street around 3:30 p.m. Sunday, responding to reports of an assault.
Officers arrived to find a victim with a stab wound, who was quickly rushed to the hospital with serious injuries. A 22-year-old man was arrested at the scene, though charges are still pending as of Sunday evening.
Authorities have stated that the public is not believed to be at risk following the Etobicoke stabbing. The investigation continues to determine the circumstances surrounding the attack.
Further west, in Mississauga, a 21-year-old man sustained what police are calling “life-altering injuries” in a two-vehicle collision late Saturday night. The crash occurred near Ninth Line and Argentia Road, close to the intersection of Highways 401 and 407.
The injured driver was hospitalized, and while his injuries are not considered life-threatening, they are expected to have a significant and lasting impact. Roads in the area were temporarily closed but have since reopened to traffic.
These incidents, unfolding across the Greater Toronto Area over a single weekend, highlight a disturbing pattern of violence. Each case represents a life irrevocably changed, and a community grappling with the consequences.
