TORONTO — Three suspects remain at large after a mass shooting in east Toronto that injured 12 people last week.

Police are continuing their investigation into the Friday night shooting at the Piper Arms pub in Scarborough.

They say the suspects “indiscriminately” opened fire as diners celebrated the pub’s opening night, then fled in a silver car.

Police say seven people were hit by gunfire, while the others were injured by flying glass.

None of the injuries are considered life-threatening.

The motive for the shooting has yet to be determined and police say they are looking into all leads.

Police have said that one of the suspects was armed with an assault rifle while the other two had handguns.

Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw called it "an incredibly brazen act of violence" when he visited the site of the shooting over the weekend.

The victims range in age from their 20s to mid-50s.

The Piper Arms pub, located near the busy Scarborough Town Centre shopping mall, was still closed on Monday.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 10, 2025.
