  "summary": "Toronto police are currently investigating a vehicle collision that occurred early Thursday morning in Etobicoke, following reports of gunfire damage to a car. The incident took place at around 4:30 a.m. on International Boulevard and Carlingview Drive, when a white vehicle with apparent \"gunfire damage\" struck a tree and the driver fled the scene. Police have not been able to provide a description of the driver at this time. Additionally, earlier on Thursday, a man was found with gunshot wounds in a nearby home on Botfield Avenue, though it remains unclear if this incident is connected to the vehicle collision. International Boulevard is currently closed between Carlingview and Galaxy Boulevard as part of the ongoing investigation.",
