Crossbow incident leaves three dead, one injured in east-end Toronto
TORONTO — Three people suffering from what appeared to be wounds from a crossbow died in Toronto on Thursday in an incident that rocked an otherwise quiet neighbourhood in the city’s east end.
Police said an injured fourth person — a 35-year-old man — was taken into custody, but few other details of what happened were released.
The victims were found in the driveway of a bungalow by officers who responded to a stabbing report in the early afternoon.
“Indications were that (a) person had been stabbed — their injuries were fairly serious,” Const. David Hopkinson said. “When officers arrived, they found that person and two others suffering from injuries from what we believe to be a crossbow bolt.”
