Deadly Shooting at Toronto's Salsa on Saint Clair Festival

At 2:03 · chapter starts 1:55

What should have been a night of celebration turned deadly at Toronto's Salsa on Saint Clair Festival, an annual event honoring Latin culture that drew some 13,000 revelers on Saturday night. NPR's Chandelise Duster reported that gunfire was exchanged between two individuals, leaving at least two people dead and four others injured. Toronto police recovered two firearms and found themselves working across at least three separate crime scenes. Festival organizers expressed shock and grief in a public statement, and announced the event would not continue on Sunday. As of the report, no arrests had been made. The shooting adds to a troubling trend: Toronto police data shows at least 33 shootings in the city so far in 2026, underscoring a persistent public safety challenge for Canada's largest city.
