Twitter Ads info and privacyThe gunman behind Sunday’s deadly mass shooting in Toronto was caught on camera — with cell phone video showing the exact moment he opened fire.

Local reporters have been sharing the footage on social media after it was originally posted by an Instagram user. The clip appears to have been shot from a balcony near the Mezes restaurant in the city’s Greektown area, where the attack reportedly took place.

“Super raw & clear Video of #Toronto #Danforth shooter via @arilanise,” wrote Twitter user @stilex, a Toronto photographer.

The footage shows the suspected gunman walking hurriedly toward the restaurant and opening fire with a handgun. According to a witnesses   that it sounded like the weapon was being reloaded repeatedly.

“I saw the carnage as I ran down the street,” one man told the station, describing the scene as “pretty crazy.”

Police said the suspect later died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His late-night rampage left 13 people injured and one person dead. A young girl was said to be among the victims.

Doug Ford, the premier of Ontario, offered his condolences in a tweet Sunday night.

“My heart goes out to the victims and loved ones of the horrific act of gun violence in Toronto,” he said. “Thank you to all the first responders for acting quickly to help everyone affected.”
