A shooting at a pub in Toronto left 12 people injured, with six sustaining gunshot wounds, after three men entered the establishment and opened fire on patrons. Police are still searching for the suspects, who used an assault-style rifle and handguns in the attack. Fortunately, none of the victims had life-threatening injuries, with their ages ranging from 20s to mid-50s. The motive for the attack remains unclear, as investigators are trying to determine if the victims were targeted, if the suspects had a vendetta against the bar, or if it was a random attack. Mayor Olivia Chow expressed sympathy for the victims and their families. Video footage of the shooting captured the chaotic scene, with pubgoers seeking safety by hiding or running into the basement until police arrived. The aftermath of the shooting was described as eerie, with abandoned tables, scattered glass and blood, and personal belongings left behind. Superintendent Paul MacIntyre described the incident as a “brazen and reckless act of violence” that has deeply affected the community and the city itself. The investigation into the shooting is ongoing.
