Toronto police have found two shell casings following reports of gunfire near Vaughan Road Academy in midtown.

Emergency Task Force officers found two shell casings on Atlas Street, one block east of the school.

However, Emergency Medical Services say they haven't found a patient and Vella says it's unclear if anyone was shot. Police are questioning three males at the scene.
