Toronto police say two men got into an argument on a TTC bus on Thursday afternoon, which led one man to fire a weapon at an east-end bus depot.

Police say they received a call at 3:46 p.m. ET about a shooting incident in the bus depot area of the Scarborough Town Centre.

Const. Tony Vella told CBC News that police subsequently learned that two men had gotten into an argument on a bus.

When they got off the bus, one man pulled out a gun and started firing shots.

Police do not believe anyone was injured.
