Paul MacIntyre, a superintendent of the Organized Crimes Unit of the Toronto Police, described the shooting as a “shameless and reckless act” at a press conference on Friday night.
“I am deeply worried about listening to reports of a shooting in a pub at Scarborough,” said Mayor of Toronto, Olivia Chow, in a statement on social networks early Saturday morning. “I have spoken with the Demkiw boss and he has assured me that all the necessary resources have been deployed. This is an early and continuous investigation: the police will provide more details. My thoughts are with the victims and their families.”
