Toronto police say a 17-year-old boy who was injured in a gunfire exchange in the city’s west end earlier this week now faces several charges in the case, including attempted murder.

Police say officers responded to a shooting in the area of Keele Street and Donald Avenue just before noon on Wednesday.

They say two groups of individuals exchanged gunfire across Keele Street, in front of a high school.

Police say a 31-year-old woman was driving by in a vehicle when she was struck by gunfire and a 17-year-old boy was also shot. Both were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Police say the teen has since been arrested and charged with attempted murder, discharging a firearm in a reckless manner and possession of a loaded prohibited or restricted firearm, among other charges. 

They say another person arrested at the scene was later released and they don’t have descriptions of the outstanding suspects.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 5, 2025.
