A Toronto-area condo board meeting turned tragic Sunday when a gunman stormed in and killed five people before being fatally shot by police.
"Horrendous scene," York Regional Police Chief James MacSween said of the crime, according to a report from Associated Press. "Six deceased. One of them is the subject. The other five are victims."
In addition to the six dead, MacSween said a seventh person who was shot by the suspect is being treated in the hospital and is expected to survive. According to the report, Villi used a semi-automatic handgun to carry out the shooting, but was killed at the scene "following an interaction with police," the York Regional police said on Twitter.
The shooting comes just a week after a similar scene unfolded in Rome, Italy, where three women were killed and others were injured after a man opened fire on their condo board meeting.
