A tragic event unfolded in North Toronto on June 17 when a dispute at a financial business resulted in a shooting that claimed the lives of three adults, including the suspected shooter, leading to lockdowns at a nearby daycare and school.

Detective Sergeant Alan Bartlett of the Toronto Police revealed that the incident occurred in a commercial building in the Don Mills neighborhood, but details regarding the identities of the deceased were not disclosed as next of kin were yet to be notified.
