TIL Desk/World/Toronto/ A gunman, who opened fire at a busy Toronto restaurant strip injuring at least 14 people including a young girl, has been shot dead, Canadian police said. The young girl, who had received critical injuries in the attack in the Danforth and Logan avenues area, on Sunday night has succumbed.
The motive for the shooting is not clear yet, said police, who were appealing to witnesses for details. Jeremy Cohn, a journalist, posted a footage from the scene, saying that “victims are spread across many blocks”.
Jody Steinhauer told that she was with her family in a restaurant in the area when she heard what sounded like 10 to 15 blasts of firecrackers. “We started to hear people scream out front,” she said.
Some of the victims who were scattered across the ground for “many blocks”, were treated at the scene, while others were taken to hospitals after the gunman dressed in black was seen firing his gun between 15 and 20 times.
