Police say a five-year-old girl is in stable condition after a shooting at a birthday party that left two other children and an adult injured in northwest Toronto.

Toronto police Constable Edward Parks says the shooting happened at a party for a one-year-old boy, who was grazed by a bullet and treated on scene for injuries but did not go to hospital.

He says the other three victims, who also included an 11-year-old boy and 23-year-old man, did go to hospital.

Mr. Parks says he doesn’t have information on the condition of the other victims, although police have previously said the adult hit by the gunfire suffered a leg wound.

Police say officers were called to the scene in the Rexdale neighbourhood shortly before 8 p.m., and they’re now looking for “multiple suspects.”

Mr. Parks says he doesn’t have any information on suspects yet or whether they fled in a vehicle or on foot.
