Nighttime revelry turned into a fatal game of sudden violence when three masked robbers opened fire on panicked customers at the Piper Arms Pub near Scarborough Town Centre. The senseless assault resulted in 12 people being hurt, sending shockwaves through the community.
Toronto Police Superintendent Paul MacIntyre called the assault a “ brazen and senseless act of violence.” The suspects, one of an assault rifle and two of handguns armed, entered the pub about 10:40 p.m. yesterday and straight away started shooting.
“There was no warning. These guys just walked in and pulled out guns and started loading people, “said MacIntyre in a news conference. 
Police, six victims suffered gunshot injuries, other six injured by broken glass and debris. Thankfully, none of the injuries were life or death.
Footage of the incident left police forces “horrified,” where the perpetrators are seen shooting randomly without even aiming at their victims.
One suspect, who was wearing a black balaclava, was seen running away in a silver car and remained at large. Police have asked people to stay vigilant as the manhunt goes on.
Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow told residents that “all available resources” were being used to identify the suspects.
As the city is still reeling from the assault, police is appealing to anyone with information to step forward and highlight that those responsible must face justice.
