Police searching for suspects after 2 young sisters shot in Toronto playground
TORONTO — Two sisters, ages five and nine, were seriously injured during a “brazen” daylight shooting at a playground in Toronto’s east end, authorities said Thursday.
Toronto police Det. Sgt. Jim Gotell told reporters at the scene that the girls were rushed to the Hospital for Sick Children and both are expected to survive.
He said at least seven shots were fired and investigators believe the intended target was a man who was among the 11 children in the playground.
“We’ve had a lot of co-operation from the public in regards to this shooting,” Gotell said.
