Shooting outside Toronto baby shower: Four guests wounded, pregnant woman falls trying to flee

Four guests at a northwest Toronto baby shower were wounded in a shooting outside the party on Saturday evening, police say.
The pregnant woman at the shower fell during the melee and was taken to hospital as a precaution.
Police said the four victims had stepped out of the shower and were standing outside the Eglinton apartment, near Keele, when the gunfire started. Each of the four men sustained gunshot wounds in the mid to lower body and were listed in non-life-threatening condition. One of them was taken to hospital in an ambulance, while the three others “made their own way,” said Const. Craig Brister, a police spokesman.
Around 6:30 p.m., a resident at the Eglinton Aveune apartment was on her way out to dinner and saw guests streaming into the main floor party room with gifts for the shower. But by 8 p.m., her panicked neighbours were calling her at the restaurant, saying there’d been a shooting outside the building.
When she got home, the resident — who would only give her name as Franca — saw dozens of bullets scattered outside and counted three or four bullet holes in the party room windows, which face the street.
“I’ve lived here for over 23 years and I’ve never seen something like this in my life,” she said.
Another resident, who would not give her name, said she was in her seventh-floor apartment when she heard at least four gunshots outside.
“We said, ‘Oh that’s a gun,'” the woman said. “My daughter went to the window. I said, ‘No, no, don’t go there.’ But she went and she said, ‘There’s many people running away.”
Neighbours told the Canadian Press that several children were in the vicinity at the time.
Toronto has seen a rash of gunfire incidents that began Friday afternoon when a 28-year old man, who police say was known to them, was shot and killed in the downtown entertainment district while sitting in a parked car.
Police are trying to determine whether any of the shootings are linked.
