Toronto police say two suspects are wanted after a teenage boy was shot in Scarborough on Wednesday afternoon.

Officers responded to reports of a shooting just before 4 p.m. in the Lawrence Avenue East and Warden Avenue area.

Supt. Paul McIntyre said the incident began when the 14-year-old boy boarded a TTC bus and got into an altercation with two other male suspects.

It’s alleged the boy got off the bus and was followed by the suspects. One of the suspects then allegedly took out a firearm and fired multiple rounds.

The boy was located at the scene with a gunshot wound to the leg and was taken to hospital by paramedics with serious, but non life-threatening injuries.

The suspects were last seen fleeing northbound on Warden Avenue.

They’re described as male Black teenagers. One is around five foot six with short dreadlocks, wearing a red shirt. The other is around five foot six with a black shirt and bandana over his face.
