Two men have been killed and four other people have been wounded in a shooting at a street festival in Toronto, police have said.
Police said six victims with gunshot wounds were found near St Clair Avenue West and Arlington Avenue in the Canadian city, where a Latino-themed cultural festival was taking place. Investigators recovered two firearms after the shooting.
Two victims were pronounced dead at the scene. The conditions of the injured victims were not immediately known.
Officers initially urged the public to avoid the area while they responded.
Police said there had been an exchange of gunfire between two people targeting each other.
Toronto police deputy chief Frank Barredo said the two gunmen "indiscriminately put vast numbers of people in danger".
Barredo confirmed both of the deceased victims were men.
Police later said the scene had been secured but cautioned that a suspect or suspects had not been apprehended.
A large police presence remains in the area.
Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney said he was "horrified" by the shooting and said the police had his full support in
their efforts to apprehend those responsible.
He said in a post on X: "My prayers are with the families grieving their loved ones, those who are in critical condition and everyone who has been affected by this horrific event."
'Senseless violence'
Ontario premier Doug Ford said in a social media post: "I am devastated by the senseless violence at the Salsa on St Clair Festival that has claimed two lives and injured others.
"My thoughts are with the victims, their families and everyone affected."
