The scene of a North York shooting Tuesday night where a man was shot three times was washed down and cleaned up before Toronto Police investigators discovered where it happened.Just another day in the hood, I guess.
Hospital staff at Humber River Regional on Finch Ave. called investigators when a 31-year-old man shot in the arm, buttocks and leg hobbled into the emergency ward around 9 p.m. Police said the man refused to help them or provide any details of where he was shot or who pulled the trigger.
Investigators were able to later trace the scene down to a townhouse complex of Driftwood Ave. But when they arrived, they discovered the scene was washed down by someone, severely contaminating the evidence and leaving little for forensic experts, police said.
No word as yet from Mayor Millers office... on which gun club the shooter belonged to.

"You'd shoot an unarmed man in the back?"
"It's the safest way."
