Toronto Raptors: Four injured in shooting at victory parade for NBA champions

Four people have been injured in a shooting at a victory parade for the Toronto Raptors basketball team, police have said.

Tweets from people attending the parade at Nathan Philips Square said they heard several gunshots, which sparked a stampede from the crowd.

Canadian journalist Diana Weeks said she heard four shots in total, but "thought they were fireworks".

She added: "I don't even know what to say right now."

"Started running for our lives. This is not Toronto. Children crying… ppl running."

Videos of the incident showed people running to exit the square as the incident unfolded.

Toronto police said the victims' injuries were "serious but not life threatening", and that two people had been arrested.

Two firearms have also been recovered.

More than a million people had lined the streets on Monday to celebrate the Raptors' - and Canada's - first ever NBA championship win.

The team was paraded aboard five double-decker buses through the city, before coming to an end at the square.

Several public figures delivered speeches, including Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Mr Trudeau, Toronto's mayor and Raptors player Kawhi Leonard remained on stage as the incident unfolded, and resumed celebrations shortly after.
