Toronto's police chief says a 10 year-old girl and an 18-year-old woman were killed in the mass shooting in the city's Greektown neighbourhood.
Police chief Mark Saunders said 13 other victims have injuries ranging from minor to serious. They range in age from 17 to 59.
The 29-year-old gunman, identified by the SIU as Faisal Hussain, died after an exchange of gunfire with police. Saunders declined to release his name and said authorities ``do not know why this has happened yet.''
He walked along a street firing a handgun into restaurants and cafes. Saunders declined to release his name and said authorities don't yet know his motive.
The victims of Sunday's mass shooting include eight women and girls, and seven men. Two victims and the gunman died.
The province's Special Investigations Unit has taken over the part of the investigation dealing with how the shooter died.
We know there was an exchange of gunfire between two police officers and the suspect before he took off. He was later found dead on Danforth Ave.
There is an autopsy scheduled for Wednesday.
