Five individuals died tragically in Canada after a 73-year-old shooter opened fire Sunday at a condo building in a suburb near Toronto, declared the city’s authorities on Monday.
The police’s official press release confirmed that a sixth victim is in critical condition in the hospital and that the suspect has died.
“We offer our sincere condolences to the victims and their families,” said Chief MacSween who was present at the scene, insisting that there is no further threat to public safety.
The police were first called on Sunday to a residential building for a report of an active male shooter who had shot several victims.
When police showed up, a male subject engaged the cops in conversation, leading to the shooting of the person who was later declared dead at the scene.
The residential building has been thoroughly searched by the Emergency Response Unit to make sure there are no more casualties inside and that it is secure.
Back in September, Canada knew a tragic stabbing rampage that ended in ten killings that were considered among the deadliest in the history of modern Canada.
