Manhunt In Toronto After 3 Gunmen Open Fire In Pub, Wounding 12: Police

The suspects, allegedly armed with an assault rifle and handguns, indiscriminately shot at patrons who were attending the pub's opening night.

Three men indiscriminately opened fire inside of a pub in Toronto on Friday night, injuring 12 people before fleeing the scene, authorities said.

The gunmen entered the Piper Arms Pub in the district of Scarborough just before 10:40 p.m., wearing masks while firing an assault rifle and two handguns, according to police.

“I’m happy to report, by the grace of God, that there’s been no fatalities,” Toronto Police Supt. Paul MacIntyre told reporters at the scene of the attack, which he said was captured in surveillance video that left him and other officers “horrified.”

“We’ve seen a lot of shootings over the years, a lot of video … but tonight’s shooting, these guys just looked at the crowd and opened fire. It was horrible,” he said.

Of the 12 people taken to hospitals, six suffered non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. The victims range in age from their 20s to mid-50s. A motive was not immediately known, he said.
