That turned out not to be the case,” he added.Two firearms were recovered from the scene but no suspects had been identified and no arrests had been made, the deputy chief confirmed.The Salsa on St. Clair festival, held between July 11-12, is Canada’s largest Latin street festival, celebrating culture, food and music. In a statement on X, Ontario Premier Doug Ford had said he was “devastated by the senseless violence”.“The person responsible must be caught, brought to justice and spend the rest of their life behind bars,” he wrote. “My thoughts are with the victims, their families and everyone affected. Thank you to Toronto Police and our first responders for responding to this horrific incident.”The incident comes after a police officer and a civilian were killed in shooting in Montreal last month.The alleged shooter was shot dead by police. – with NY Post
