A 14-year-old girl was shot in the leg overnight Friday in the area of Finch Avenue and Weston Road, Toronto police say.

Police said they received a call at 12:30 a.m. for a shooting in the area.

Officers then located the teen girl who was taken to hospital with serious but non life-threatening injuries.

Police said the investigation is still ongoing and did not confirm whether the shooting was accidental or not.

In a earlier tweet, police said a man had been seen fleeing the scene.

Gun violence continues to be at record levels in Toronto. As of Friday, at least 252 people had been killed or injured in shootings this year, a number that, with nearly eight weeks left in 2019, already surpasses the highest year-end total in police data that goes back to 2004.

Based on the data, shootings in the city have increased steadily since reaching a low in 2014, which saw 90 people shot by Nov. 8.

The rate of violence this year has so far exceeded the previous record — set in 2005, which was dubbed “the year of the gun” — even accounting for population growth.
