UPDATE: 10-Year-Old Among Dead In Toronto Mass Shooting

Investigators in Toronto are not speculating on a motive after a gunman opened fire in the city's Greektown late Sunday night.

Police have now confirmed that two victims have died and 12 others were hurt as a result of the shooting. Police announced on Monday afternoon that the two deceased victims were an 18-year-old woman and a 10-year-old girl.

The gunman, who used a pistol, was later killed during an exchange of gunfire with officers at the scene. It is not clear if the suspect was hit by officers' bullets, or killed himself.

The Special Investigations Unit has been called in to investigate and has identified the alleged shooter as 29-year-old Faisal Hussain of Toronto. An autopsy has been scheduled for Tuesday.
