Two teens spent the night in hospital recovering from gun wounds after a shootout in west-end Toronto. The victims were ages 17 and 18. They were shot in a parking lot located at the side of Starbank Convenience Mart, located on Eglinton West near Dufferin Street, at around 8:30 p.m.
One man was shot several times in the legs while the other was shot in the back. Their injuries are not life-threatening. Authorities told CTV Toronto they are looking for three suspects, all between the ages of 18 and 25. They were wearing fitted ball caps, dark track suits and hooded sweatshirts. They were last seen fleeing on foot, going northbound on Locksley Avenue. Police spent the night at the scene gathering evidence, shell casings and collecting footage from surveillance cameras. Investigators say they believe the victims were targeted.

My opinion of this article is that it reminds us that crime is occurring all over Toronto and is often done by young people. It is interesting to me that much of the violence that I read about is commitd by young people. My opinion is that is a difficult time of life being young and that without support from family and friedns it is easy to take the wrong path in life. I'm very glad that I have such a loving family to help me.
