A 10-year-old boy is expected to make a full recovery after being shot in the shoulder overnight.

Police were called to a home on Blake Street in the Danforth and Jones Avenue area of the east end around 11:40 p.m. Friday night after receiving reports of gunfire.

Upon arriving police discovered numerous gun shots had penetrated the rear of the townhouse unit with at least one bullet striking the child.

Sgt. Andy Kitchener said it appears the address was targeted but there is no information to suggest the people inside were the intended targets.

“It’s just scary to think something like that can happen,” said Kitchener, who added the area has had its share of problems in the past. “You think you would be safe in your bedroom 11:30 at night but apparently not.”

Kitchener said there is no suspect description at this time but police are reviewing surveillance footage from the area.

Police are expected to be at the scene for the remainder of the weekend as part of the investigation and are asking anyone with information to come forward or call Crime Stoppers.

Police said they are reviewing surveillance footage from the area.

The incident was one of three shootings that took place in Toronto within hours of each other.

The first took place around 5:30 p.m. on Friday, when a man in his twenties suffered life-threatening wounds after being shot in west-end Toronto.

About an hour later, one person, who was known to police, died after a second, separate shooting in a north Toronto neighbourhood.
