Mass Shooting: One Killed, 13 Injured As Gunman Opens Fire In Toronto

A woman has been killed and at least 13 injured, after a gunman opened fire in the Canadian city of Toronto before being shot dead by police, officials said.

An unidentified man opened fire late on Sunday in the neighbourhood known as Greektown, near central Toronto.

In a video clip shared by Canadian media, a white man wearing a dark cap and dark clothing and carrying a shoulder bag can be seen stopping on a pavement and pulling out a handgun before firing shots.

Some of the victims were treated at the scene, while others were taken to local hospitals.

“Other than the shooter, we have a young lady that is deceased,” Toronto police chief Mark Saunders told reporters.

“We are looking at all possible motives… and not closing any doors,” he added.

Reports of gunfire began at 10pm and witnesses said they heard 25 gunshots.

Toronto Mayor John Tory condemned the “despicable” attack on “people innocently enjoying a Sunday evening”.

The premier of the province of Ontario, Doug Ford, tweeted a message of support to the victims of the attack.
