Police are looking for two men involved in a rush-hour shooting Thursday at the busy Scarborough Centre station bus bays.

“The argument started allegedly on the bus and they took it off the bus,” said Toronto police Staff Sgt. Jim Gibson.

“It was verbal, got physical and the rest is history.”

TTC employees called police at around 3:45 p.m. as the argument between the men escalated on the bus platform. They were both riding the 16 McCowan bus, said TTC spokesman Brad Ross.

“During the fight one of the drivers of one of the buses believed he saw a gun,” said Gibson.

“Before we had a chance to move in, the shots rang out and (the men) scattered in the Town Centre.”

Police recovered two shell casings and are reviewing video.

The station serves numerous buses as well as the Scarborough Rapid Transit line. Buses were being diverted to McCowan station Thursday afternoon.

“It’s a busy station, especially at this time of day,” said Ross. “A lot of people do go to Scarborough Centre station, a lot of buses feed into Scarborough Centre station.”

The shooter is described as a black male in a brown jacket. The other man is described as a black male, 6-foot-1, in a black sweater with white letters on the front.
