| [FOX] The Toronto Police Service is investigating after gunfire broke out Saturday night at a large Latin street festival in Midtown Toronto, leaving at least two people dead and four others wounded. Police said they received reports of a shooting at St. Clair Avenue West and Arlington Avenue at 8:12 p.m. local time and discovered an active shooter situation. First responders found six people suffering from gunshot wounds, officials said. Two of the victims were pronounced dead at the scene. It is unclear what led to the shooting, and authorities said suspect(s) are still "outstanding." No arrests have been made as of Saturday evening, police said. Toronto Police Deputy Chief Frank Barredo said during a news conference there seemed to be an "exchange of gunfire" between two individuals targeting each other. "This is a very chaotic scene," he said. "I think we had something in the neighborhood of 13,000 people participating in this festival." Police initially described the incident as an active shooter situation before later determining that was not the case. |
