The pub is part of a chain and it may be opening night though I can't confirm. It has been advertised to "open soon" for a few years and is housed in a stone house that has been other restaurants The location is on a ring road around a large mall. Our Red Hatters group has been waiting for it to open - we are a group of older women who meet monthly. It is not the type of place I would think of guns. I wonder if the business was the target rather than a dispute among the diners.

“We are aware that unfortunately an off-duty TTC employee was injured in this horrific incident,” TTC spokesperson Stuart Green confirmed to CTV News Toronto in an email on Wednesday. “The employee is recovering at home and our thoughts are with them at this difficult time. TTC senior management is in regular contact with the employee, and they are receiving all available supports during their recovery.”

Green did not provide any specifics about the nature of the employee’s injuries, however during a city council meeting on Wednesday, Scarborough Centre Coun. Michael Thompson gave an update about the shooting and said that a TTC bus driver “was shot in six places in his leg and his groin area.”

''Supt. Paul MacIntyre told reporters at the news conference that one victim was shot six times and survived.

"Their strength and resilience has been remarkable," he said.

Dozens of charges laid​

Police say Torontonians Sheldon Gordon, 19, Juevar Griffith, also 19, and Kayjean Morrison, 22, all now face charges linked to the incident, including multiple counts of attempted murder, alongside a host of firearms charges.''

"To be quite frank, it was a horrific incident. They were shot in their arms, in their legs, their hips, their knees, their elbows — and while we often say in the media … the injuries aren't life threatening, they certainly are life altering," he said.

"Bullet wounds to your knees, and to your elbows, and to your legs, I mean these are injuries that will really affect you for a lifetime. And psychologically, I mean you're sitting inside a restaurant or a pub and suddenly you're shot — I mean that is something that's going to have an effect on you for the rest of your life."
