Toronto police are searching for witnesses and information after a daycare near St. Lawrence Market was struck during a reported drive-by shooting on Tuesday morning.Speaking to the media at the scene, Insp. Michelle Olszevski said three people were standing outside the St. Lawrence Co-operative Day Care at 4 Market St. around 7:30 a.m. when someone in a car allegedly open fired in their direction. One of the bullets struck a window.
Olszevski would not confirm if investigators have since spoken with the three individuals who were allegedly shot at. Olszevski further noted that no children or parents were at the day care at the time of the incident. There was, however, one staff member inside the facility, she said, but they were uninjured.“Thankfully, nobody was struck as a result of this shooting incident,” Olszevski said, adding officers from Toronto police’s Shooting Response Teams, Forensic Identification Services, and 51 Division are currently at the scene “actively investigating” and canvassing for video and witnesses.
Toronto police said they’re especially concerned about this shooting as it happened during weekday morning rush hour and near a day care.
