A three-story red brick building used as a rooming house was the focus of a three hour stand off with police. Several of the residents fled the building. Police used a megaphone to order remaining occupants to come out of the building. Three men came out with the police ordering them to walk backwards with their hands on their heads.
Several other people were escorted out of the building by 10 armed police officers. The police focused on one unit where it is believed the shooter resides.
King Street remains closed as the police continue the investigation.
The victim has not cooperated with the police. He is in hospital with minor injuries.
The incident took place at the corner of King and Tyndale Avenue, near Dufferin Street. Area streetcars were rerouted to Queen Street during the three hours.
