Toronto gunman kills girl and teenager, wounds 13 before dying after police shoot-out
Video shows attacker draw handgun and shoot at groups of people in the city’s Greektown neighbourhood
A 10-year-old girl and an 18-year-old woman were killed in the mass shooting in Toronto’s bustling Greektown neighbourhood on Sunday night, the city’s police chief said on Monday.
Chief Mark Saunders said 13 other victims had injuries ranging from minor to serious. They range in age from 10 to 59.
The gunman, 29, was found dead in an alley after an exchange of gunfire with police. Saunders declined to release his name and said authorities “do not know why this has happened yet.”
A video clip posted by Canadian media showed a man in dark clothes walking on the pavement in Greektown and then turning to aim and fire a handgun.
“At approximately 10pm on July 22, 2018, a man walking along Danforth Avenue fired shots at groups of people several times. Several people were struck. Two civilians were fatally injured,” the Ontario Special Investigations Unit said.
