“Police are continuing their investigation at the scene,” City Councillor Josh Matlow said on social media, alluding to the attack on Saturday night.
The final day of the Salsa on St Clair festival, Sunday, was cancelled, he added.
According to initial reports gathered on Saturday evening, “there was an exchange of gunfire between two individuals and two firearms were recovered at the scene”, Deputy Police Chief Frank Barredo said.
He did not specify if the shooters were among the dead. Nor did he rule out the possibility of more people being involved in the shooting.
“No arrests have been made so far,” Barredo added, describing the situation as very “complex” and “chaotic”, and asking festivalgoers to send police any images that could help the investigation.
