Police are investigating a shooting that happened overnight in an eastern Toronto apartment building.
Just after 1:45 a.m., officers received reports of a shooting at a Dawes Road and Victoria Park Avenue building.
When police arrived, they found two victims who were quickly transported to hospital.
Toronto police say both victims are male and in life-threatening condition.
According to Insp. Darren Alldrit, multiple suspects entered the building an proceeded towards the victims' unit.
"Once they got to that apartment, they had an altercation with a couple of the occupants. Our suspects, two of them at least, drew firearms and began firing at our victims before fleeing the building."
Alldrit also confirms the suspects ran back down to street level and took off in a waiting vehicle.
Officers are looking for multiple suspects in connection with the shooting and have remained on the scene to investigate.
They say they will be canvassing the community for any witnesses, video or dash cam footage of the incident.
