Shooting Near Raptors’ Victory Parade Leaves 2 Injured

Two people were shot and two people taken into custody on the edge of the Toronto Raptors’ victory parade in their hometown on Monday, as the team celebrated its N.B.A. championship with thousands of fans and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada.

The Toronto Police said that two victims had suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries, and that officers had recovered two firearms. CP24, a television news channel, broadcast a photograph of several police officers pinning down one of the detained people outside of a subway entrance about a block from the celebration.

The Toronto Transit Commission confirmed that two of its special constables were involved in an arrest outside of the station entrance.
