• Weekend rash of violence 'a blip,' Toronto police chief says

Police say approximately four to five shots were fired at around 5 p.m. near Dellbrook Crescent and Larchmere Avenue on Tuesday. 

Officers found the man on the ground with gunshot wounds and administered first aid with the help of paramedics.

Tullock was pronounced dead at the scene shortly afterwards. 

There are still no details on a suspect but police say a black car was seen leaving the area.

A resident who's lived on a street near Larchmere Avenue for nine years told CBC News she heard about six or seven shots at around 5 p.m. and immediately called 911.

"It's not something that you think would happen at five in the afternoon," said the woman who didn't want to be identified on camera. "It's a family-oriented neighbourhood, it's safe, our kids play outside, so to have had this happened really shakes me up."

Chris Zapata, who recently moved to the neighbhourhood, expressed his shock at what happened Tuesday.

"That's crazy!," he said. "That makes me feel like not wanting to live here."

Coun. Giorgio Mammoliti, who represents the ward where the shooting happened, said he suspects the shooting is connected to a spate of violence the city has seen in recent days.

He suggested that the federal government should send in the military to help defuse violent crimes in the city.
