At least one person shot at N College St and E Trade St, a security expert said. One person was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, MEDIC said.
The security expert, Ross Bulla, was with reporter Paul Boyd at the scene.
Bulla heard the gunshot near the Epicentre and went to perform first aid to the person, who he said was a black man.
He said the gun shot wound was very serious.
