Violence has knocked on the front door of a Toronto politician.

Several gunshots were fired at the home of city councillor John Filion early Thursday morning.

One actually struck a wall, others hit his parked vehicle.

Filion, who’s represented the Willowdale ward for 28 years, was not hurt.

”I suspect I have been targeted and that this is related to my work as a city councillor.  Both incidents were reported to Toronto Police at the time they occurred,” said Fillion.

The first incident was three weeks ago, when the councillor says a man with a weapon unsuccessfully tried to force his way into his home.

Mayor John Tory calls the news troubling.
