A man is in hospital early Friday morning following more gunfire in a Scarborough neighbourhood, the third shooting in that area this week.

Toronto police received a call at about 1:15 a.m. that the sound of gunshots was reported by several people near Orton Park Rd. at Lawrence Ave. E and Galloway Rd.

Police said people were seen running from the area near a community centre.

A man with non life-threatening gunshot wounds then made his way to hospital, police said in their tweet. They are investigating to confirm whether he’s connected to that shooting.

It’s the third shooting within a one-kilomtre stretch there this week.

At about 12:15 a.m. Thursday, at Scarborough Golf Club Rd. and Confederation Dr., south of Lawrence. police responded to another report of a shooting. The victim told police he was just sitting in his vehicle when he was shot.

On Monday, after 10 p.m., a man walked to a local hospital with non life-threatening gunshot wounds following a shooting at Lawrence and Mossbank Dr.

The latest shootings come after a violent long weekend in Toronto. At least 17 people were shot after at least 14 shootings over the August long weekend.

Toronto police chief Mark Saunders will be holding a news conference Friday morning regarding gun violence in the city, the second time this week he’ll be addressing the issue.
