-- TORONTO -- Two 16-year-old youths are in hospital with gunshot wounds after a hail of bullets were fired in an area outside a Scarborough housing complex that was crowded with people escaping the heat this evening.

One teen was shot in the face and another twice in the stomach but both were in non-life threatening condition.

Police have three other youths in custody, suspects in the shooting.
