A man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds has been taken to hospital in life-threatening condition in the second shooting of the day at an apartment complex in Etobicoke.

Toronto Paramedics got a call at about 8:16 p.m. near Islington and Highway 401. Toronto Police confirmed officers responded to 2063 Islington Ave., the same address police were called to about five hours earlier for an earlier shooting.

A man in his 20s was also shot multiple times near Islington Ave. and Dixon Rd., and was taken to a trauma centre by paramedics.

Toronto police were called to the Islington Ave. high-rise apartment building, across from Don Bosco Secondary School, at around 3:15 p.m.

Police said the man in the earlier shooting suffered from three gunshot wounds, but confirmed the injuries were not life-threatening.

The afternoon shooting happened in a stairwell on scene, according to police.

There is no word on suspects in either shooting.

The apartment building at 2063 Islington Ave. is no stranger to violence. Two teenagers were fatally shot near the high-rise last fall.
