TORONTO: At least 12 people were injured in a shooting at a pub in Toronto and the suspect remained at large, police said early on Saturday.
Four victims had non-life-threatening injuries and the extent of injuries to the rest was not known, the police said in a post on X that did not describe the suspect.
“I am deeply troubled to hear reports of a shooting at a pub in Scarborough,” Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow posted on X, adding that the police chief had assured her “all necessary resources have been deployed.”
Toronto paramedics told Canada’s CP24 Media the injuries ranged from minor to critical.

UN experts denounce Switzerland for sentencing students over Gaza protests
- “Peaceful student activism, on and off campus, is part of students’ rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly, and must not be criminalized,” the UN experts said
GENEVA: UN human rights experts said on Tuesday they had protested to Switzerland after a group of students was sentenced for trespassing after taking part in pro-Palestinian protests at a Swiss-funded university.
Around 70 students at the Swiss university ETH Zurich took part in a peaceful sit-in in May 2024 as part of student demonstrations in several cities during the Gaza war before being dispersed by police.
Students who took part in the protests were opposing the Swiss facility’s partnerships with Israeli universities, the UN experts said.
“Peaceful student activism, on and off campus, is part of students’ rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly, and must not be criminalized,” the UN experts said, adding that they had written to the Swiss government and the university to raise the issue.
A spokesperson for the Swiss Foreign Ministry confirmed it had received the message and that it would respond in due course. An ETH Zurich spokesperson did not immediately respond.
Five students have so far been sentenced for trespassing, resulting in suspended fines of up to 2,700 Swiss francs ($3,516), legal fees of over 2,000 Swiss francs and a criminal conviction on their records which could discourage future prospective employers, the UN experts said.
Ten others who appealed the charges await sentencing and two others were acquitted, they said.
