   Toronto mass shooting leaves 10-year-old girl, 18-year-old woman   
   dead: Police originally appeared on abcnews.go.com   
      
   A gunman opened fire on the streets of Toronto, killing two   
   people -- a 10-year-old girl and 18-year-old girl -- wounding 13   
   others and sparking an outpouring of grief for the Canadian city.   
      
   The suspected gunman -- a 29-year-old Toronto man -- is also   
   dead, and much about the Sunday night shooting, including the   
   motive, remains unknown.   
      
   "It’s way too early to rule out anything," Toronto Police Chief   
   Mark Saunders said Monday.   
      
   The 13 injured, ranging in ages from 10 to 59, suffered minor to   
   “life-changing” injuries, officials said Monday afternoon.   
      
   The shooting unfolded quickly at about 10 p.m. near Danforth   
   Street and Logan Avenue, which is in the city's Greektown   
   neighborhood, often referred to as The Danforth.   
      
   There was an exchange of gunfire between police and the suspect,   
   who was armed with a handgun, authorities said. The suspect fled   
   on foot and was found dead nearby.   
      
   A weapon has been recovered in the wake of what police called a   
   "disturbing incident."   
      
   The shooting has left Toronto in mourning.   
      
   "My thoughts are with everyone affected by the terrible tragedy   
   on the Danforth last night in Toronto, and may the injured make   
   a full recovery," Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tweeted   
   Monday morning. "The people of Toronto are strong, resilient and   
   brave - and we’ll be there to support you through this difficult   
   time."   
      
   Choking back tears, Toronto Councillor Mary Fragedakis said to   
   the city council Monday morning, “This is so heartbreaking. The   
   victims and their loved ones are in my thoughts and prayers. I   
   cannot imagine what they are going through, the pain, the loss."   
      
   The area has always part of her home and her life, she said.   
      
   "As we mourn, cherishing and caring for those in our lives may   
   help with the pain," she said, overcome with emotion.   
      
   Toronto Mayor John Tory, speaking at the overnight news   
   conference, acknowledged the Canadian city’s problems with gun   
   violence.   
      
   "We still live in a great city,” he said, “but we have to be   
   ever more vigilant about this kind of things.”
