Canadian police aren't ruling out out terrorism after a gunman killed two and injured 12 others in Toronto.

Investigators now say a second person has died.

A spokesperson for the Special Investigations Unit in the province says three people are dead including the gunman in the  attack.

The shooter was killed in a shootout with police and investigations are now underway.

No further details have been released regarding the most recent victim at this stage.

The attacker opened fire on restaurants and shops in the busy Greektown neighbourhood.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has taken to Twitter in the past half an hour, noting that  "the people of Toronto are strong, resilient and brave - and we’ll be there to support you through this difficult time."
