A 35-year-old male suspect was arrested today in connection with an apparent crossbow attack outside Toronto, police said.
Police said officers responding to an emergency call Thursday found three deceased people on a residential street, on the east side of Canada's largest metropolis.
Nearby, police also found a crossbow. Authorities said however that it was not immediately clear that the weapon had been used in the attack.
Paramedics said the three victims, two men and a woman, appear to have died from "blunt force" trauma, a police official said.
