Two killed in mass shooting at Canada’s largest Latin street festival in Toronto, police say
Jorge Uzon/AFP/Getty Images Two people were killed and several others injured after at least two shooters exchanged gunfire amid crowds of roughly 13,000 people at Canada’s biggest Latin street festival in Toronto on Saturday, police said.
Police said they secured the scene roughly an hour after the shooting began but continued to urge people to stay away from the area in the city’s midtown, where the multiday festival celebrating Latin culture has been held annually for 22 years, according to organizers.
