Police said the teenager who was injured was allegedly involved in the shootout. A 31-year-old woman was driving on Keele Street when she was caught in the crossfire.
Both were taken to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.
Police say another young person arrested at the scene has since been released.
One bystander told the Star students from the high school and children at a nearby daycare were outside when at least 10 shots were fired, the groups shooting at each other across the road.
