A 16-year-old boy is recovering in hospital after he was shot near a high school in Scarborough on Monday afternoon, prompting the school to go into lockdown.

They arrived to find a teenage boy suffering from a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.

He was taken to a hospital for treatment. Paramedics described his injury as minor.

Investigators say he is not cooperating, and they are not sure of the exact time when he was shot.
