Summary
Toronto’s Salsa on St. Clair festival was abruptly shut down for good after a deadly shooting Saturday night left two dead and four injured near the event’s closed-off venue — a scene that unfolded as 13,000 revelers danced under the city lights. Organizers were stunned, offering heartfelt condolences, while police described a chaotic, gunfire-filled exchange that ended with two weapons recovered. Mayor and council members voiced outrage, linking the tragedy to systemic failures in gun laws and bail reform. With Sunday’s festivities canceled and suspects still at large, the city now grapples with grief, urgent investigations, and a renewed call to action against gun violence — all while emergency crews responded with speed and resolve.
