Drake was officially hosting the event, but it’s unclear whether or not he was there at the time that the violence unfolded.

“We did deliver you additional safety and security involving this event site, not only on account of the occurrence prior year – it’s only a vast venue”, he was quoted saying.
It was not immediately clear if Drake, who earned a Grammy in 2013 for his second studio album Take Care, was at the party, which closed his annual Ovo music festival. Sloly stated police fired no photographs. He said three other people were hospitalized with various injuries.
Frank Bergen said during a briefing. Police believe there may be other victims, and are urging them to seek medical treatment.
“Uniformed officers have the area cordoned off because it is a very large scene”.
Bergen said Tuesday that police are “satisfied at this point that the organization involved was doing their best” and the shooting occurred as things were shutting down for the evening.
Hours later, police said they wanted to speak with two persons of interest. Push notifications advising users of community safety alerts will allow police to warn the public of incidents like the latest shooting.
Sloly said police officers were within metres of the initial shooting.
In a statement, Mayor John Tory said he was “both saddened and angered by these senseless shootings”.
One witness told the AP that he was walking with his daughter to his vehicle when he saw the two victims talking to a woman “about her body”.
“This is not the Toronto we know”. We were together for a long, long time and it’s personal, ” Kermit said.
Neither the Toronto rapper nor his OVO label have commented on the shootings in the wake of the incident.
