The best thing we Torontonians can do is to continue living our lives normally and not in fear. Thankfully, so far I don't know of anyone involved in this terrible incident. My deepest condolences to those who are affected.

I love Toronto. Been years since I've been there though.

Hope they catch the disgusting piece of crap that did this.

They did. Apparently he was taunting the police to shoot him - suicide by cop. They captured him shortly thereafter.

Not 5 minutes away from my old office, terrible, they are saying it was deliberate at this point - wait to hear more news.

Such a tragedy, 9 dead so far, many injured, all you can do is hope and pray for the lost one's family's and hope for those that have been injured....terrible and tragic.

Terrible tragedy. I just cannot comprehend how someone gets to a point that they would do something like this.

Bastard..... I hope everyone from Toronto on the forum here is ok. This is very upsetting. I guess it was only a matter of time. Thank God he didn’t go down by the Air Canada Centre where it will be packed tonight for the Leafs/Bruins hickey game....

Why!? You want to take yourself out I understand, won’t get in to whys and alternatives etc. But if you decide YOUR life is over, I am not going to argue, but WHY take innocent human beings with you? There is no answer

I've just had a chance to digest what happened today after seeing the pictures and reading more about how the incident went down. It's a surreal sight to see pictures of covered bodies outside a building that had a Public Library where I spent many evenings working on group projects when I was in undergrad, and outside restaurants where we often went for dinner after those sessions. I also shopped in the area and hung outside the Square when the sun was out.

On my commute home today by foot, a car was honking madly and sped and screeched its way down a main street in the downtown core outside of my office tower, cutting off a guy he apparently thought was driving slowly. I'll admit my heart skipped a beat at that. Freaking idiot can't drive like a normal person on a day like this.

Terrible tragedy! Hopes and prayers all involved directly or indirectly.
As someone above has said, best thing to do is live life as normally as possible and without any kind of fear. Stay positive, only way one can get through such things.

This is so incredibly scary! My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone impacted by this tragedy. Having this happen just minutes from home in an area I've spent a lot of time is terrifying.

First call was to my sister who works right there. She could see the scene from her office. Glad she is ok.

But tonight there are many families praying their loved ones will pull through, and many families grieving. My thoughts are with them.

Such a senseless act.

i lose faith in humanity more and more day by day when i see stuff like this...... senseless and void of any logic or reason

We are supposed to be the most intelligent animals on this planet yet shit like this happens.... defies logic and the impact on innocent people is unrepairable

My thoughts go out to the victims and their famiies

im saddened and disgusted all at once

Awful as many already said.

In the coverage, I saw many citizens who aided the injured. And the utmost restraint displayed by the officers who apprehended the attacker.

No succor for the devastated families and friends - but a small ray of light in this dark day for the people of Toronto.
