Two dead in shooting in Toronto's east end, police say
On Sept 21, two people were killed in a shooting outside Providence Healthcare in Toronto's east end. Police responded to the area of Warden Avenue and Clair Avenue East around 12:30 p.m., where both victims were found with gunshot wounds and pronounced dead.
Investigators believe the victims, a man and a woman, were married. Duty senior officer Scott Shutt said the woman was a patient at Providence Healthcare, and the shooting occurred in the hospital parking lot.
Urging witnesses to contact police, Duty senior officer Scott Shutt said, "It happened behind me here in a large parking lot," describing the traumatic incident that numerous people would have witnessed.
Unity Health Toronto confirmed the campus remains secure, and appointments scheduled for Tuesday will proceed as planned. Police noted there are no outstanding suspects or arrests in connection with the shooting.
The Toronto Police Service will remain at the scene for several hours as the investigation continues. Investigators are expected to provide further updates to media later today, and police are asking anyone with information to contact them.
