A bakery on Eglinton West is the latest scene of gun violence in the city.
Toronto police say multiple people were partying inside “Spence’s Bakery” between Oakwood and Marlee avenues around 2 a.m. last night.
“This is a very brazen shooting at this hour of night, no regard whatsoever for any kind of safety — they just shot randomly into a group of people inside the bakery”
Inspector Tim Crone says they were trying to escape the rain when a dark SUV pulled up and at least one person opened fire.
Six people were shot, five males and one female. Police and paramedics say all six suffered wounds ranging from shots to the chest to shots to the leg. All are expected to survive.
