An 18-year-old man is fighting for his life and a 15-year-old boy is lucky to be alive after a brazen daylight shooting in a Regent Park play area yesterday. At least six shots were fired as the two victims sat on a park bench behind 463 Gerrard St. E. around 4:20 p.m.**********
The 18-year-old victim was shot multiple times in the chest and was in critical condition last night in intensive care unit following surgery.
The 15-year-old boy, whose family only arrived in Canada from Somalia a few years ago, was shot in the legs and also underwent emergency surgery. He is expected to live.
Police believe there could be a link between yesterday's shooting and another that happened around 2 p.m. Tuesday near Sherbourne and Carlton Sts.
