Three people have died after an attack involving a crossbow in Toronto’s east end.

The incident happened near Markham Road and Eglinton Avenue East in Scarborough Thursday afternoon.

Toronto paramedics said two males and one female were pronounced dead at the scene. One male was transported to hospital with minor injuries.

A police source told CTV News that at least two victims were hit by a crossbow bolt and that the incident happened in the rear garage of a house. The source said that two bodies were discovered in the garage and the third was found in a driveway.

Police say the man who placed the call to 911 is one of the deceased.

A man has been taken into custody, police said, and it doesn’t appear that any suspects are outstanding. The man in custody is reportedly 35 years old.

Police say a crossbow was found nearby, and there were other items found in the area that could have been used in the incident.

As first responders descended on the residential neighbourhood, police cordoned off a large perimeter.

Resident Jerome Cruz told CTV News Channel that he heard someone screaming for several minutes before everything went silent. He also heard a commotion and what sounded like “banging” in his neighbour’s backyard.

Cruz said the incident was “very shocking.”

Forgive me if my first thought is that the suspect must be this guy:

Nasty way to go. Crossbow control?

I'm waiting for the normal posts blaming America for this.

And the NRA and Donald Trump. Somehow they must be behind this.

Oh, and the Second Amendment because, um, assault rifles and shit, yah.

Once again supporting my theory that our murder rate is so low because we have so many 'hunting accidents'.

In Sacramento we don't have any hate crimes because the police refuse to classify anything as a hate crime. Therefore we don't have any hate crimes.

I just have to say that I found this so weird the first time I read it.

He placed the call and died after the police showed up.

Poor bastard must have suffered.

Musta been stabbing them with the bolt in his hand. Don't want to hear the weapons-control advocates start to go on about "rapid-fire fully-automatic" crossbows or whatever other new perversion of technical details they've got developing in their empty little heads.

I used to bowhunt a lot. The only instant kill is a side shot that hits both lungs and heart. Anything else, will cause death through bleeding. Not a nice way to go.

This happened on a driveway and inside a garage.

You could use a youth crossbow and be hand spanning bolts in under 5 seconds. If you knew what you were doing.

Inside that range, it would still be very lethal.
