The 12-year-old boy who was shot last weekend while walking with his mother in Toronto has died from his injuries, Toronto police confirmed Thursday morning.
The boy, who was one of four victims in a Jane and Finch-area shooting, was struck by a stray bullet at around 2:20 pm. Three other teenagers were also shot and are expected to recover from their injuries.
Police say that two occupants of a vehicle got out and began discharging their firearm at another vehicle.
