6 people sought after west end shooting

A 20-year-old man is in hospital after being shot three times early Saturday on Eglinton Avenue West, in an area local people say has seen a lot of gang violence. 

A weekend shooting in the west end of Toronto has a neighbourhood on edge and afraid of more violence.

No arrests have been made in what police say was the attempted murder of a 20-year-old man early Saturday morning.

They say they're looking for the six people who surrounded the victim before he was shot. One of them pulled out a handgun and fired at him three times.

The victim is reported to be in critical but stable condition at Sunnybrook Hospital.

Delroy Johnson, whose music store is steps away from the shooting scene, says the bloodshed will continue if something isn't done about a gangs and guns problem in the neighbourhood.

“We want to fix it," Johnson said. "And we know it could be fixed, because everyone gets affected by it."

A neighbour of the victim interviewed by CBC News didn’t want his name used out of fear for his safety.

“I live downstairs, and it happened right here,” the man said. “It could have been anybody. This has been the fourth shooting, or something, around here.”
