Bruce Arthur of the Toronto Star:
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.

Crowd on east side running again. Cops said get down. Oh no.

More running a block east, and then out of the building across from old city hall on Bay. Sirens coming.

Stay away from the eaton centre. Please just ran in there, and crowd just ran away. If you’re in the area, get down.

Especially in large crowds like this, chaos and confusion can spread quickly. Hopefully, everyone is OK.
The scene was quite strange, as speeches were interrupted while people in sections of the crowd fled:
