Union Station is being closed after a shooting that left one person with life-threatening injuries, according to Toronto police.
Around 7:50 p.m., Toronto police said they were responding to a shooting in the York Street and Bremner Boulevard area in the entertainment district.
Police said they later located a man with life-threatening injuries.
The paramedics also went to the scene, but said they had not moved anyone.
Police have so far not provided any suspicious information.
The blockade of the busy station comes when a crowd of people have poured into the city center for various events.
Metro service has been suspended between Osgoode and Bloor-Yonge stations on line 1, the TTC said. It is unclear how long the suspension will last.
