Five killed by gunman in Canada apartment block
Five people have died after a gunman opened fire at a block of flats in Toronto, Canada.
Police responded to reports of the shooting at the building in Vaughan, about 30km north of Toronto, at 19:20 on Sunday, shooting the suspect dead there.Authorities are investigating the motive, including a possible connection between the gunman and the victims. York police chief Jim MacSween said attending officers were met with a "horrendous scene", with numerous deceased victims found in different flats of the building.
Mr MacSween said there was no ongoing threat to the public, and York police said those evacuated could return to their homes. While it has fewer mass shootings than neighbour the US, Canada has recently seen an increase in gun violence prompting recent legislation to ban handguns.
