A shooting in the Eaton Centre food court has left one dead and seven others injured.
Two more are in critical condition in hospital, according to Toronto Police Constable Victor Kwong. Some were injured due to trampling as people fled the area.
The area around the mall, Toronto’s largest shopping centre in the downtown core, was quickly blocked off Saturday evening and the Eaton Centre itself was evacuated and closed down.
Ujjawal Patel, 28, said he was inside the Eaton Centre when he heard 12 to 15 shots ring out. He quickly fled.
"I was so scared," said Mr. Patel. "If if can happen in the Eaton Centre it can happen anywhere."
Marcus Neves-Polonio, a 19-year-old busser at the food court, says he was walking when a guy took out a gun and started firing near the Big Smoke Burger.
Mr. Neves-Polonio says he witnessed someone being shot right in the chest.
He says he saw two people on the ground.
He ducked under a table. "I just hoped he wouldn't go in my direction," he said. "I easily could have been shot, too."
The scene became "mayhem" as people scattered, running for the doors, said Mr. Neves-Polonio.
One of the first to report the shooting was Toronto Blue Jays player Brett Lawrie, via Twitter.
It’s not the first time the area has seen gunfire.
In 2005, a 15-year-old was killed and six others were wounded on Boxing Day, 2005, when shots rang out just north of the shopping centre.
With reports from Chris Hannay and The Canadian Press

that report is incomplete?

where is the mention of the black men police shud be looking for in connection with the shooting?

toronto police say the Eaton Centre shooting that left a man dead and six others wounded on Saturday evening was likely gang-related, and that they are closing in on a suspect.

what skin colour?

why no mention of skin colour of the suspect..as usual?

This is really unfortunate. but im sure there were ppl behind this guy, cudnt someone have broadsided him with a chair??????

maybe Helma Maloney knows the suspects' skin colour :cheesy: :cheesy:
enquiring minds........... :grin:

Toronto is a place where people care about each other. Where people come together despite their differences, share their cultures and build lives," Ho wrote on the event's Facebook page.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper said he was shocked and saddened by news of the attack.
"I offer my deepest condolences to the family and friends of the victim," said Harper in a statement. "And wish a speedy recovery to those injured by this senseless act of violence."
"Canadians should be assured that such depraved and monstrous acts will be met with the full force of the law," he added.

broad-siding a killer, using a chair, as he is blasting away with a pistol in his hand!!!

interesting concept and idea hocked: hocked: hocked:

wonder what kind of pistol it was? 

given the quality of such arms currently and the sophistciated predilection of gangs for the best most powerful of such weapons it was prolly a 'Glock'

Maybe Helma would do it..broadside a shooter with a german hand-gun. 

depending on who the suspect is she might have been very motivated in this instance ::rofl:: ::rofl:: ::rofl::
