One man is in serious condition after a shooting in Scarborough Tuesday evening, Toronto police say.

The victim, whose age remains unclear to police at this time, was located after police responded to reports of a person with a gun in the area of Lawrence Ave. E. and McCowan Rd. in Scarborough. No person with a gun was located, nor was any firearm found.

Authorities found the victim on the property of a hospital in the area, and he apparently drove there himself, police say.

The victim’s injuries were serious enough to require the care of a trauma centre that was “equipped to deal with more serious gunshot injuries in the city, rather than the hospital that he was in close proximity to,” Toronto Police Const. Allyson Douglas-Cook told the Star.

Police could not confirm the exact extent of the injuries, but confirmed he sustained gunshot wounds.
