Toronto police are searching for three suspects in shooting that left at least 12 injured

Four masked men opened fire at a bar in Toronto, Canada, leaving at least 12 people injured. Police are currently searching for three male suspects and have stated they are uncertain about the motive behind the indiscriminate shooting, as of Saturday.

All of the victims are between the ages of 20 and 50. Although they had to be hospitalized, none of them sustained life-threatening injuries. 

According to authorities, the attack occurred late Friday at the Piper Arms in an eastern neighborhood of Canada’s largest city. The attackers were armed with an assault rifle and handguns.

"They walked into the bar. They produced their guns, and they opened fire indiscriminately on the people sitting inside the bar," said police commissioner Paul MacIntyre. "The motive for this shooting right now remains unclear. We’re chasing down all leads," he added in a statement reported by CTV News.

According to local media, the attack took place on the bar’s opening night. Officers were able to see footage of the attack from the venue's security cameras. "There’s a lot of damage to the walls. There’s glass walls that are shattered. There’s blood all over the floor," MacIntyre said.

Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow said she was "deeply troubled" by the news of the shooting and assured that, according to her information, law enforcement had deployed "all necessary resources." "This is an early and ongoing investigation - police will provide further details. My thoughts are with the victims and their families."
