Terrible shooting occured in Toronto area

A gunman has opened fire on a busy area in Toronto, killing a young woman and injuring 13 other people, one of them was injured critically, police say.


A girl of 8 or 9 years was critically injured in the Canadian city's Greektown district, they said.

The attacked happened on Danforth Avenue on Sunday evening, when the area was teeming with people, Canada's Globe And Mail newspaper reports.

The suspect is dead, reportedly killed in an exchange of shots.

The motive for the shooting, which reportedly targeted a restaurant, is still unclear.

Eyewitnesses say they heard rounds of shots, with pauses in between.
"It would shoot, there'd be a pause, we heard more shooting, and then a pause and then more shooting," John Tulloch, who was walking on the avenue with his brother at the time, told the paper.
"There must've been 20, 30 shots, altogether. It was a lot. We just ran.
"People weren't yelling but I think everyone was concerned," he added.

"It just seemed very like a dream, almost like it wasn't really happening. But everyone was sort of moving and going away. It was like it wasn't happening. It was hard to believe it was real."

A driver, Jim Melis, told the paper that a white man wearing a black cap and a bandana had fired shots through a café window.

The gunman had run out in front of his car, crossing the street, before pulling out his gun, he said.
Jody Steinhauer told CBC News she had been 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.

  Premier of Ontario, Leader of the Ontario PC Party For the People, Dough Ford tweeted a message of support to the victims of the attack.
