Three Shootings In Same Hour Have Police Scrambling

As police probe reports of a shooting at a bus stop near Jane and Woolner and an incident on board a subway train stopped in the middle of a tunnel that saw two knives recovered, officers in other parts of town are investigating yet more apparent cases of brazen daylight gunplay.

The latest took place at Cameron and Keele near Eglinton around 5pm. But it doesn't appear anyone was hit. There are also indications this may be related to the shooting near that bus stop that occurred just minutes earlier.

There's no word on what may have sparked this latest gun violence.

Cops are also out in force at Bleecker St. near Wellesley, after shell casings were found on the ground near a basketball court (top left). There are reports that a man walked into a nearby hospital with gunshot wounds. While doctors were processing that case, another patient arrived suffering from a bullet wound to the leg.

Cops are still looking for a suspect in that one and are waiting to speak to both of the walking wounded.
