Police were to speak to the media at 1 a.m. near the location of the shooting.
The Toronto Star reported official sources as saying the victims include children, with reports saying an infant and a 12-year-old girl are among the victims.
“Some of them are very young. Very young,” said Tony Iagallo, an EMS spokesperson, to The Toronto Star. Ambulances are on scene treating patients.
Global News said two of the wounded fled and were later discovered at a grocery store, and a nearby laundromat. They also reported police found a hand-gun at the scene.
Const. Wendy Drummond says police are asking anyone who saw what happened to provide any information that might help them locate suspects.
Drummond also says officers have been called in from surrounding divisions to assist in the investigation. Multiple ambulances and fire trucks were called to the scene to treat patients.
