Two people including the gunman are dead and 13 wounded in Toronto after a shooting in the busy Greektown neighbourhood, adding to concern about gun violence in Canada's largest city.

"One female adult has died. One young girl in critical condition," Toronto police said on Twitter, adding that all 14 victims were shot with a handgun late last night.

Police said the suspect was also dead, and The Toronto Star quoted Police Chief Mark Saunders as saying there had been "an exchange of gunfire."
Ontario's new Premier Doug Ford tweeted a message of solidarity, saying: "My heart goes out to the victims and loved ones of the horrific act of gun violence in Toronto."
