TORONTO - No surgery has been scheduled for a five-year-old boy who was shot in the face with a high-powered pellet gun, doctors in Toronto said Monday.
The boy is now listed in fair condition at the Hospital for Sick Children after the shooting Sunday outside the Molson Indy.
Police gather evidence
Police say Kadin Kendall was at a bus stop with his mother along with the post-race crowd in Toronto's waterfront area when he was shot.
The pellet was fired from a moving car and lodged in the boy's brain, entering just above his right eye.
He has retained vision in the eye and will not require surgery to remove the pellet at this time, said a hospital spokesperson.
A 27-year-old man was also hit in the forearm with a pellet during the 30-minute shooting spree. He was treated in hospital, said police.
Three suspects were reportedly arrested as their car was stuck in traffic.
Two 18-year-old males and a 17-year-old male appeared in court Monday in connection with the shooting. Jake Joseph Mercure and Stephen Collins are charged with aggravated assault and discharging an air pistol with intent to wound.
The 17-year-old cannot be identified.

It can not be a good story without ridiculous adjectives
