by June 17th, 2019

Four people suffered “non-life threatening” gunshot injuries during a shooting yesterday at the Toronto raptors’ NBA championship celebration in downtown Toronto.

Three people were arrested in two separate incidents connected to the shooting, as a huge crowd had gathered to celebrate the raptors’ victory over the golden state warriors in the NBA finals last week.

It was reported more than almost a million people attended the victory rally and “the vast majority didn’t even know about the shooting.

Images on social media showed people running from the scene, and Toronto police said they could not confirm that people were trampled, but resisted the suggestion that a stampede broke out after the shots were fired.

The raptors’ victory marked the first time the team reached the NBA finals in its 24-season history.

Revelers filled the square to capacity for the rally, which included an appearance from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
