Toronto gunman Faisal Hussain died after shooting himself The gunman who opened fire on a busy Toronto street Sunday night shot himself after a confrontation with police, as per sources. Two people died, including an 18-year-old woman and a 10-year-old girl after the shooting rampage took place Sunday night in Toronto’s Danforth neighbourhood. The gunman who was identified as 29 year old Faisal Hussain, was a resident of Toronto. Hussain died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, said sources. The coroner told the family of Hussain that he had shot himself in the head, a source close to the family said. An autopsy was conducted Tuesday. The family previously released a statement saying the gunman had suffered from “severe mental health challenges.” “We are utterly devastated by the incomprehensible news that our son was responsible for the senseless violence and loss of life that took place on the Danforth,” a statement released Monday said. The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the shooting, but police said they found no evidence to support the claim. -PTC News
