Toronto police have confirmed that an overnight shooting in Chinatown has resulted in the death of two men and brought three other people to the hospital. The officials confirmed that the shooting took place at approximately 3:20 a.m. on Sunday outside the New Ho King restaurant on Spadina Avenue near Nassau Street.
Paramedics attended the scene and pronounced one man dead immediately whereas another was transported to hospital in life-threatening condition where he later succumbed to his injuries. In addition to the two, a third man also suffered serious injuries while the remaining two victims were taken to hospital with unknown injuries. According to Det.-Sgt. Mike Carbone, investigators are currently gathering evidence and trying to talk to witnesses to determine a motive for the crime.
According to the head of the union representing Toronto police officers, Toronto Police Association, Saturday’s “brazen” shooting is yet another example of the worrying spike in gun crime in the city. Association’s President Mike McCormack stated that “we’ve been talking about this for a long time. We’ve been saying that there is an increase in gun violence. This is not a blip, these are not isolated incidents. This is clearly a trend.” The union is stressing that more police resources are required in order to address the increased violent crime in the city. It was pointed out that, the total number of shootings in Toronto is up 100 per cent if crimes up till now are compared to the same time in 2015.
