TORONTO - Toronto police say a 17-year-old girl is in hospital after she was shot in the leg while riding on the city's subway.

Sgt. Bill Richards says the shooting occurred on a northbound subway car after the girl and a male got into an argument. The girl, who hasn't been identified, is currently being treated in hospital for wounds police say aren't life threatening.

The shooting occurred just before 9 p.m. near Spadina station, near the city's core.

Richards says police are still investigating the shooting, and that no suspects have been arrested.

Earlier news reports had said the girl was caught in the middle of a gun fight between two groups.
