多伦多拉丁文化节发生枪击致2死6伤 枪手在逃
事发加拿大最大拉丁街头庆典 Salsa on St. Clair,警方称可能为两人交火,非无差别攻击,目前无人被捕。
当地时间7月11日晚8时许,加拿大多伦多中城区圣克莱尔大道与阿灵顿大道附近发生枪击事件,造成2人死亡、至少6人受伤。事发时,一年一度的拉丁文化街头音乐节“Salsa on St. Clair”正在进行,据组织者称现场约有1.3万人。
多伦多警察局副警长弗兰克·巴雷多表示,两名成年男性受害者不治身亡,另有四人因枪伤就医,伤势严重。警方初步判断这是一起双方交火事件,两名以上嫌疑人互相射击,并非针对公众的无差别攻击。调查人员在现场至少发现三个犯罪点,收缴两把枪支。警方最初曾向公众发出“活跃枪手”警告,随后澄清这一表述源于案发初期信息不明,目前已无对公共安全的持续威胁。截至发稿,尚无嫌疑人被逮捕。
目击者向当地媒体描述,枪响后人群陷入恐慌,互相推挤奔逃,有人受伤倒地。一名女性目击者称看到一名女子似乎中枪,伤势严重。安大略省省长道格·福特在社交媒体上表示“被这场无意义的暴力击垮”,要求将肇事者绳之以法。多伦多市长周至怡谴责这是“在一个拥挤节日中的鲁莽可鄙的暴力行为”,承诺确保警方拥有追查所需的一切资源。加拿大总理马克·卡尼称深感“惊骇”,对遇难者家属表示哀悼。
“Salsa on St. Clair”是多伦多最大的拉丁文化节,迄今已举办22届,每年吸引数十万游客,被视为安全的家庭活动。加拿大枪支暴力发生率远低于邻国美国,但近期蒙特利尔、不列颠哥伦比亚等地接连发生恶性枪击事件,令该城市安全形象蒙上阴影。本案调查仍在进行中,警方呼吁公众提供视频等线索,证实现场是否有更多关联人员。
