Sources told the Toronto Sun police are investigating multiple shooting scenes at the condo building after being called at 7:20 p.m. and are working on a theory that an individual went from unit to unit, attacking six members of the condo board. One of the victims was hospitalized and is expected to survive.
“Once the officers arrived they were met with a horrendous scene,” Chief Jim MacSween said. “Numerous victims were deceased.”
He said officers eventually found the gunman and he was killed in “an engagement between the officers and a subject.”
The province’s Special Investigations Unit says the man was 73 years old.
“There was an interaction between an officer and the armed man in the building. The officer fired his gun and struck the man. Paramedics were called and the man was pronounced deceased at the scene,” the SIU said in a release.

Police sources say the shooter was in an ongoing legal battle with the condo board of the building at 9235 Jane St. near Rutherford Rd.
Investigators are in the process of trying to talk to his family or acquaintances to learn more on the background of this dispute and any possible court orders that resulted from it.
Police were also mining through social media posts they believe show the in-distress killer expressing fear of being accosted by board members.
MacSween told media police were heavily focused on identifying the victims in the horrific scene and notifying next of kin.
At least one of the people killed in the condo building is said to have been shot in the head.
“It’s nasty,” said one source.
This was one of two shootings Sunday in York Region, followed by one Saturday where a man was shot in Richmond Hill after an altercation with three men with guns. But the other shootings are not believed to be related to the condo shooting.
