Two dead, six wounded in shooting at Toronto salsa festival (VIDEOS)

Two people were killed and at least six others were injured in a mass shooting at the Salsa on St. Clair street festival in Toronto, Canada, on Saturday evening.

Police received reports of an active shooter shortly after 8 PM and cordoned off the area. The suspects remain at large.

“A large police presence remains in the area as officers continue their investigation. Please continue to avoid the area and follow directions from emergency personnel,” police said.

Videos from the scene show people running for cover after gunshots rang out.

Another video shows paramedics treating the victims.

Frank Barredo, deputy chief of police, later told a news conference that “this seemed to be an exchange of gunfire between two individuals targeting each other.” He added that two firearms had been recovered from the scene.

Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow said she was “disgusted and angered” by the shooting. “This was a reckless, despicable act of violence at a crowded festival,” she said.
