Police said callers reported multiple gunshots at The Sicilian Sidewalk Café at 712 College St., near Ossington Avenue, around 3:30 p.m. Police confirmed that two people were shot. One man, who appeared to be in his 30s, was wheeled from the store on a stretcher and loaded into an ambulance.
Witnesses at the scene reported hearing at least five shots. One witness told CP24 that he saw a man, who appeared to be dressed as a construction worker, enter the cafe's packed patio and open fire. The man was wearing a white mask and possibly a while hardhat, witnesses said. The witness said the shooting appeared to be targeted and the victim was shot in the head. Broken glass littered the street outside the shop, and police pushed people away from the scene and taped off a large part of the block. The road was closed to traffic between Crawford Street and Grace Street.
The shooting took place as Little Italy's restaurants and bars were packed with spectators watching Italy play Ireland during a Euro Cup soccer match. In fact, cheers could be heard from nearby bars as police investigated at the crime scene. Shortly before 4 p.m., police said that no one had been arrested and they didn't yet have a description of the suspect.
Two local schools, Montrose Junior Public School and Delta Alternative Senior School, were placed on a hold and secure after the shooting, meaning the doors were locked and students and staff had to remain inside. Toronto District School Board spokesperson Ryan Bird said most of the students had already been dismissed for the day, but anyone still there was being kept inside until police told them that the neighbourhood was safe. They lifted the hold and secure near 4:30 p.m. The Toronto Public Library's College Shaw branch was also placed on lockdown. |
