12 injured in shooting at Toronto pub
Police said they are searching for three male suspects.

At least 12 people were injured in a shooting at a pub in a Toronto suburb on Friday night, police said.

The victims in the shooting in Scarborough, a district in eastern Toronto, all ranged in age from their 20s to mid-50s, according to the Toronto Police Service.

Six people suffered gunshot wounds, but there were no life-threatening injuries.

The shooting was reported at 10:39 p.m. local time. Police said they are searching for three male suspects.

The Toronto Police Service said they were deploying all available resources to locate and arrest those responsible.

Paul Macintyre, a superintendent with the Toronto Police Organized Crime Unit, called the shooting a "brazen and reckless act" at a press briefing Friday night.

"I am deeply troubled to hear reports of a shooting at a pub in Scarborough," Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow said in a statement on social media early Saturday. "I have spoken to Chief Demkiw and he has assured me all necessary resources have been deployed. This is an early and ongoing investigation - police will provide further details. My thoughts are with the victims and their families."
