A gunman opened fire at a crowd in Toronto in Canada on Sunday night (local time), killing two people including a young girl and injuring 12 others. The suspected shooter was later found dead.

The gunman reportedly fired at least 15 to 20 rounds of bullets on the crowd. The injured were rushed to a nearby hospital and police used a bus to take people in the area to safer places.

Police said the gunman used a handgun. The gunfire on Danforth Avenue in the city's Greektown neighbourhood began at 10 pm local time (0200 GMT on Monday), the Special Investigations Unit said, adding that the gunman walked down the busy avenue firing at groups of people.

Danforth is filled with restaurants and a family-friendly night life.

The gunman, a 29-year-old man, exchanged fire with police, fled and was later found dead, according to the Special Investigations Unit, which investigates deaths and injuries involving police.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Twitter on Monday, "The people of Toronto are strong, resilient and brave - and we’ll be there to support you through this difficult time."
