3 men armed with assault rifle, guns open fire at patrons in Scarborough pub

Authorities say they were at a loss for words when they viewed the security camera footage that captured a horrific mass shooting at a Scarborough pub Friday.

Officials with Toronto Police say they are at a loss for words after viewing security camera footage of a horrific mass shooting inside a pub in Scarborough, Ont.

Authorities say three men armed with an assault rifle and two hand guns entered Piper Arms pub, near Scarborough Town Centre late Friday, and opened fire at everyone inside. The pub was celebrating its opening night.

911 calls began pouring in just after 10:30 p.m., police say.

When officers arrived on scene, they found 12 people suffering from various injuries. It later became apparent six of those individuals had been shot, and six others sustained injuries from shattered glass.

“I am happy to report, by the grace of God, that there’s been no fatalities,” Supt. Paul MacIntyre told the press Friday.

None of the injuries are life-threatening. The victims ages are between 20 and mid-50.

Authorities say the three suspects, who were wearing masks, are still at large. No suspect description or vehicle description was available. Their weapons have also not been found.

During a media scrum outside the pub, police were asked whether tow truck turf wars could be a motive behind the shooting, or whether it was at random.
