A 24-year-old Ottawa man has been charged with first-degree murder after another man was killed with a bolt from a crossbow at a local library branch.
Zhou Fang was arrested by police a short time after Si Cheng, 52, of Toronto, was shot inside the Toronto Public Library's Main Street branch in the middle of the afternoon on Thursday.
Police were called to the library near the corner of Main Street and Gerrard Street East, in the city's east end just after 4 p.m.
Si was pronounced dead at the scene.
Witnesses told CBC's Jermaine Hylton they saw a man approach the victim, who was sitting on a bench in the library, and pepper-spray him. He was then shot, either in the face or the back, witnesses said.
Police officers saw a man run north on Main Street after the shooting. He jumped into a U-Haul rental truck and drove off. Police tracked the truck and arrested the driver.
"It's still unclear exactly what sparked this incident," said Cont. Tony Vella. "The motivation behind this killing is certainly a major factor here."
Zhou is scheduled to make a court appearance in Toronto on Friday.
