Shockingly, two people have been pronounced dead as a result of the deadly Toronto shooting. A child was reported critically injured early this morning, but it has not been confirmed whether she is the second victim.

Our hearts go out the families, as Toronto police say the girl is just eight or nine years old and was injured along with 12 others. 

The shooting took place in the city’s Greektown district when a large crowd was walking down the street.

The motive behind the attack is unknown, but it has been reported that the shooter targeted at least two cafes or restaurants, according to BBC News.

Canadian media has footage of the alleged shooter. He has been described as a white male with a dark baseball hat and dark clothing, carrying a shoulder bag. He is shown pulling out a handgun before firing.

The Globe and Mail reported that the gunman terrified civilians in a cafe called the Demetres when he opened fire and injured customers. He also fired into a crowd waiting to cross the street.

The paper interviewed one of the witnesses, Andrew Matzios, who was in this crowd when he saw the shooter coming towards them.

‘He had this horrible expression on his face,' Andrew recalled the experience with horror.

While pedestrians desperately ducked for cover, the gunman continued his frightening rampage, firing into businesses as he passed.

Police verified that the shooter was killed but have not confirmed if he shot himself or was gunned down by officers.

While Canada has a lot fewer shootings than its U.S. neighbour, there has been a major increase in gun violence in recent years.

The number of shootings in Toronto more than doubled between 2014-2017, according to police findings.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau offered his support to victims and called the people of Toronto ‘strong, resilient and brave.’

The Prime Minister has been fighting for stricter background checks. However, debates regarding gun laws continue to cause controversy in Canada.

Our thoughts go out to all affected by the shooting.

A 23-year-old woman has been arrested in connection with the shooting in Parslickstown, Mulhuddart, Dublin, the Irish Mirror reports. 

The incident left a baby boy, his mother, and his 17-year-old uncle injured. 

The young woman was detained in the Wicklow area and is being held under the provisions of section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act 1939 as amended at a Dublin Garda Station. 

Gardaí have also found a gun.

They said in a statement, "Gardaí can also confirm that they have recovered a firearm as a result of searches in the Parslickstown area earlier today. The male arrested yesterday in connection with the incident remains in custody."

17-year-old Matthew 'Matsie' Collins and his infant nephew John Collins underwent surgery last night after the close-range attack. The baby boy was taken to Temple Street Children's Hospital and the teenager was rushed to Connolly Hospital in Blanchardstown.

The baby's mum, 29-year-old Lynn Doyle, was holding her child when a person started shooting them with shotgun pellets. Matsie was shot in the stomach.

Thankfully, their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

It is thought that the attack was the result of a feud within the Traveller community, the Irish Times reports. 

Arthur Collins, father of Matsie and grandfather to John, told the Irish Times that the incident was 'all over a dispute that happened two or three years ago, but we thought it was all over'.

Superintendent Liam Carolan from the Blanchardstown Garda Station said that 'there is a quite volatile situation' surrounding the shooting. He also commented that it was too early for any speculation on 'who or what has been involved'.

He urged anyone with information to come forward, saying, "Anyone who was in the vicinity of Parlickstown Gardens from 12 noon — if they saw a car driving at high speed, if they saw people hanging around or thought something seemed strange, anything like that.

“We’ve set up an incident room at Blanchardstown Garda station if they could contact us there on 016667000 or the confidential line 1800666111."

We hope that the victims make a speedy recovery.
