Night of concert shootings leave two dead
A deadly night of shootings following two separate concerts has left two people dead in Toronto and multiple injured in New Jersey.
In Toronto, at least two people died after a shooting early Tuesday morning at the city's Muzik nightclub, which was hosting an after-party for the weekend's OVO Fest, featuring rapper Drake, a Toronto native.
Police told the Associated Press that they responded to a call at approximately 3:30 a.m about gunfire in the nightclub. The shooting, which started in Muzik and then spilled onto the streets outside, left a man and woman in their 20s and 30s dead. Three other people were hospitalized with various injuries.
It wasn't immediately clear if Drake was present at the club during the shooting.
In central New Jersey, two people were injured late Monday night in a shooting outside the PNC Bank Arts Center, where rappers J.Cole and Big Sean had performed a show for Cole's Forest Hills Drive tour.
The AP reported that state police with K-9 dogs were searching the nearby woods for the suspect, who is still at large.
Omayma Bougdour, 18, who says she witnessed the shooting, told the New York Daily News that gunfire began after an argument in the parking lot, after which "everyone started sprinting and stampeding."
The two victims were flown to area hospitals. Their conditions weren't immediately known.
