Authorities in Toronto reported a shooting incident at Piper Arms Pub, where three masked men opened fire during its opening night, injuring at least 12 people. Despite six victims suffering from non-life-threatening gunshot wounds, others were hurt by broken glass. The police are investigating the motive, considering possible personal grievances. Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow expressed her distress over the violence, while highlighting the significant increase in gun crime in Canada, with a request for all available resources to be utilized in the aftermath.
Our investigation will tell us whether or not this pub was targeted for a particular reason. Maybe somebody was inside that somebody didn't like. Maybe somebody had a beef with the business. We don't know, he added.
This is a reckless act of violence that has shaken our community and city, he said, adding that the police will leave no stone unturned in finding the suspects.
I am deeply troubled to hear about the shooting at the pub... All necessary resources have been deployed.
