OTTAWA, Dec 19 (Reuters) - Six people, including the suspect, died and one person was wounded in a shooting at a high-rise condominium building near Toronto on Sunday when a 73-year-old gunman is alleged to have killed his neighbors before being shot dead by police.
Police rushed to the Ontario city of Vaughan, about 50 km (31 miles) north of downtown Toronto, after receiving a call about an active shooter at about 7:20 p.m. ET on Sunday (0020 GMT on Monday), York Regional Police Chief Jim MacSween told reporters.
MacSween said police found the suspect, identified as building resident Francesco Villi, before fatally shooting him in a hallway of the 16-story building. The officer who killed the suspect "very likely saved lives by his actions last night," MacSween said.
All victims lived in the building. There were three adult men and two adult women who died and a 66-year-old woman in hospital with serious injuries.
