TORONTO, Jan 31 (Reuters) - Two people were killed and three
more wounded after an overnight shooting in Toronto that may
have followed an altercation in an area known for its late-night
bars and restaurants, police in Canada's largest city said on
Sunday.
One person died at the scene while another succumbed to
their wounds at hospital, Detective Sergeant Mike Carbone told a
media briefing.
"It appears that there was some type of altercation that
occurred," he said, adding that the investigation was still in
its early stages.
Mass shootings are relatively rare in Canada, which has
stricter gun laws than the United States. Earlier this month,
four people were killed and seven injured in a shooting at a
remote community in the province of Saskatchewan.
