A shooting at Toronto's TD Salsa on St. Clair Festival left at least two people dead and three others injured on Saturday night, according to the Toronto Police Service.
Officers responded to reports of a shooting at St. Clair Avenue West and Arlington Avenue at approximately 8:12 p.m. local time, encountering an active shooter situation. First responders found five individuals with gunshot wounds; two were pronounced dead at the scene.
The motive behind the shooting remains unclear, and authorities have not announced any arrests.
Following the incident, the Toronto Transit Commission temporarily suspended train stops at the nearby St. Clair West station on Line 1 Yonge-University due to what officials described as a "security incident." Regular transit service has since resumed.
Authorities advised the public to avoid the area and follow police directives. The TD Salsa on St. Clair Festival, which celebrates Latin culture, was holding its 22nd annual event.
