Police hunting for three suspects after 12 injured in Toronto shooting

Police in Toronto are searching for three male suspects after at least 12 people were injured in a pub shooting in the Canadian city.

None of the injuries were life-threatening, police posted on X, saying six of those injured had gunshot wounds.

Toronto Police added that the victims are aged between their 20s and mid-50s.

The force also said it is “deploying all available resources to locate & arrest those responsible”.

The update comes hours after Toronto police said it was searching for one suspect in relation to the shooting.

The force added that the suspect was “wearing a black balaclava” and was seen “fleeing in [a] silver car”.

Police were called to reports of a shooting at the Piper Arms pub in Scarborough, a district of Toronto, at around 10.39pm local time.
