TORONTO — Is the story that a Scarborough bank teller was wounded in a shooting on Friday or that it didn’t make the news?

Maybe it’s both.

But this did happen at a Scotiabank on Ellesmere Rd. around 11 a.m.

It was scary for the people working in the bank. It started with a man wearing a disguise approaching a teller and showing her a gun. He demanded money from her, but the robber was not satisfied with the amount and walked behind the counter. Now he was with the tellers.

Then out came the black handgun.

The man was demanding money from all of them when suddenly the gun went off.

“We believe the bullet hit the concrete floor and ricocheted up and struck the original teller in the leg,” Toronto Police Holdup Squad Acting Insp. Domenic DiPassa said. “She had some severe bruising and pain.”

But luckily the wound was not as serious as it very easily could have been. The teller was taken to hospital but is expected to be OK. However, the emotional damage of going through this is another matter.
