Five killed in Toronto shooting

Five people were killed and another wounded Sunday in a shooting in the suburbs of the Canadian city of Toronto, police said.

The suspect also died after an exchange of fire with law enforcement, local police chief Jim MacSween told reporters, saying the shooting took place in an apartment building.

The injured person was taken to hospital and their life is not in danger. 

"Once the officers arrived, they were met with... a horrendous scene where numerous victims were deceased," MacSween told reporters.

Police were investigating the motive and whether there was a connection between the victims and the male suspect, who has not been named.
