Shots fired at the site of Raptors championship parade, two arrested
Gunshots were fired nearby the stage where the Toronto Raptors parade celebration was taking place on Monday, leading to two arrests.
The celebration continued briefly on stage, but quickly came to a halt as everyone sought out more clarity about the situation.
Eventually the site of the celebration itself, Nathan Phillips Square, was cleared and the celebration continued as planned.
Our zone is clear now, as an update. Some scared people and lost shoes, and the crowd has thinned out, but back to business for the most part.

However, the chaos was not limited to the site of the celebration. After the situation seemed to stabilize, there were also reports of a shooter at the nearby Eaton Centre mall - although those reports were not confirmed by police.
Toronto police spox just told me police don't believe there's a threat to public safety right now. Shooting situation was dealt with very quickly, two arrests. Two victims were quickly found and receiving medical attention. Nothing confirmed coming from Eaton's Centre.

Gunshots fired at the parade at the back south east corner of Nathan Phillips Square. One witness said four shots. Crowd ran. There is a victim down being given medical attention, surrounded by a crowd, and police are clearing people from the area. Speeches are still going on.

Police tape up a Queen and Bay intersection where I just saw one man loaded into the back of an ambulance. His head appeared to be wrapped but eyes seemed open. Eyewitnesses saying they saw cops run towards the Eaton Centre pic.twitter.com/PLNHt1MPVO
