  "account": "Toronto police are currently investigating a second shooting in the Rexdale neighbourhood, occurring on the same street just days apart. On Thursday at 3:44 a.m., residents alerted authorities to shots fired near Upper Humber Drive and Finch Avenue West. Despite the alarm, no injuries were reported at the scene. Paramedics were subsequently dispatched but did not treat or transport any patients. Police have stated that the inquiry is still at its preliminary stages, and no suspect information has been made public yet. This incident follows a shooting early Tuesday morning that struck a home and vehicle on Humberline Drive, also without any reported injuries. The police are considering the possibility that these two shootings might be linked, but they have not confirmed this yet. They urge anyone with relevant information to reach out to the 43 Division at 416-808-4300.",
