At a briefing at the scene of the shooting at the Piper Arms pub, Paul Macintyre, superintendent of Toronto Police's organised crime unit, said six of the injured sustained gunshot wounds, but none were life-threatening.

Macintyre said surveillance video in the pub had captured the moment when the suspects, wearing black balaclavas to conceal their identities, fired their guns at the patrons.

The victims in the Friday (March 7) night shooting were aged between their 20s to mid-50s, police said.
