TORONTO — Police are searching for a second suspect after shots went off at a Toronto mall.
Toronto police say gunfire erupted at the Yorkdale Shopping Centre at about 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, sending the building into lockdown and shoppers into panic.
Police said a 21-year-old man was arrested but will not be identified due to “investigative reasons.”
He was charged with numerous offences including unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a loaded prohibited firearm and three counts of assault.
They say nobody was injured at the time.
The gunshots sent shoppers scrambling with some able to sneak outside with the help of security while others hid out in stores.
Police are looking for another male suspect, but have released little other information about him.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-3200 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-8477.
