Two dead in shooting in Toronto's east end, police say
Police say the victims were found with gunshot wounds and pronounced dead, and investigators have no outstanding suspects.
On Monday, Toronto Police Service officers responded to Providence Healthcare near Warden Avenue and St. Clair Avenue East, where two people were found dead with gunshot wounds in a parking lot just after 2:30 p.m.
Investigators believe the victims, a man and a woman, were married. Police confirmed there are no outstanding suspects as they continue investigating the deaths.
Duty senior officer Scott Shutt stated the female victim was a patient at the facility. Shutt said, "It happened behind me here in a large parking lot," urging witnesses to reach out.
Unity Health Toronto confirmed the hospital campus remains secure, with appointments booked for Tuesday proceeding as scheduled. Officers will remain on-site for several hours to process the scene.
Police asked anyone with information to contact investigators as the case remains active. Authorities are expected to provide media updates later today regarding the ongoing investigation.
