Two people reportedly were shot Monday in Toronto near where several million people were reveling in the Toronto Raptors' NBA Title victory.
The two victims have serious but non-life-threatening injuries, police told Global News.
The incident happened around 4 p.m. at the southeast corner of Nathan Phillips Square. Police took two people into custody and recovered two firearms.
The gunshots sent panicked revelers fleeing in all directions, according to Global News, and others fled in response as authorities urged everyone to remain calm.
Among those on hand were Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the mayor of Toronto and the Raptors themselves, according to The Associated Press. They stayed onstage while the ceremony was briefly interrupted, AP said.
