It appears to be another chapter in the GTA’s more than two year long tow truck turf war.
Toronto Police are investigating two separate shootings, involving two tow trucks, near Highway 401 in North York Wednesday night.
Police say several callers reported hearing multiple gunshots in the area of Jane Street and Grandravine Drive just before 8 p.m.

Police say a black car drove past a tow truck parked on the grass off the on-ramp from Avenue Road to the 401 and opened fire.
Upon arrival officers confirmed two vehicles and a residence had sustained damage from gunfire.
At the second shooting, moments later, a tow truck driver was parked at a gas station parking lot next to the 401, when a dark coloured car pulled up and a gunman opened fire, police say.
The vehicle drove away from the scene.
No injuries have been reported. Police are now looking for suspects.
