Three people have died after an attack involving a crossbow in Toronto’s east end.
The incident happened near Markham Road and Eglinton Avenue East in Scarborough Thursday afternoon.
Toronto paramedics said two males and one female were pronounced dead at the scene. One male was transported to hospital with minor injuries.
A police source told CTV News that at least two victims were hit by a crossbow bolt and that the incident happened in the rear garage of a house. The source said that two bodies were discovered in the garage and the third was found in a driveway.
Police say the man who placed the call to 911 is one of the deceased.
A man has been taken into custody, police said, and there doesn’t appear to be any suspects outstanding. The man in custody is reportedly 35 years old.
Police say a crossbow was found nearby, and there were other items found in the area that could have been used in the incident.
As first responders descended on the residential neighbourhood, police cordoned off a large perimeter.
Officers said they are investigating three different houses and are trying to determine exactly what happened.
