2 men dead, 3 hospitalized after 2 Toronto shootings

TEHRAN, Feb. 28 (MNA) – Two men are dead and three others are in hospital after two separate shooting incidents in the city Tuesday morning.

One incident happened little before 5 a.m. in north Toronto on Hickory Tree Road near Weston Road, according to CBC.

Toronto police said two men were rushed to a trauma center where they both died.

"We're in the process of identifying these men and notifying their families," Det. Sgt. Aaron Akeson told reporters at the scene Tuesday, adding that police believe the two men are in their 20s or early 30s.

Akeson said police are appealing for any witnesses in the "very densely populated" area to contact them.

"Although this occurred in the early morning hours, there are a lot of residents in the area that may have heard or seen something that may assist us in our investigation," he said. "It's the small details that make a big difference."

Officers are canvassing the area along with forensic officers who are collecting evidence, Akeson added.

"We're at the very early stages of this investigation and we're working on reviewing as much information as we can."
