Three men are dead and two are injured following a shooting at an Airbnb rental in downtown Toronto late Friday night.

Police arrived at a condo on the corner of Queens Wharf Road and Fort York Boulevard after receiving reports of a shooting around 10:30 p.m., where they initially found one victim. Const. Craig Brister told the Star police later located four more victims in the condo.

Paramedics transported three men, 22, 20 and 19, to a trauma centre in critical condition. They all died in hospital, police said.

A 20-year-old man was shot but did not sustain critical injuries, while another man was cut but not seriously injured.

Toronto police Chief Mark Saunders said police are no longer searching for a suspect. Saunders said he is encouraging witnesses to come forward and to contact Toronto Police or CrimeStoppers.

The shooting occurred on the 32nd floor of the building, Det. Henri Marsman said, though Saunders said multiple floors of the building were involved in the shooting.

“We found (injured) people on other floors,” Saunders said.

Police’s homicide unit is leading an investigation into the shooting, and police are advising residents of the building to stay in their units while the investigation is ongoing.

The condo was being used as a rented Airbnb, police said. A social gathering was taking place when the shooting occurred.

In a statement, Airbnb said: “The safety of our community is our priority and we are urgently investigating this incident to understand if an Airbnb guest or host was involved.”

This is not the first time a shooting has occurred in a Toronto Airbnb. In August, a man suffered life-threatening injuries after he was shot at an Airbnb listed in the Bridle Path. Police said there were 20 to 30 people in the Airbnb at the time of the shooting.

The shooting in August sparked criticism towards Airbnb’s rental policies from tenants’ groups, who argued that Airbnb’s accountability and rating system is not well-equipped to deter these dangers.

In November, a 19-year-old Humber College student sued Airbnb after he was shot while attending a large party at a house rented through the online platform.

In the lawsuit, Sean McCann, the plaintiff, alleged that Airbnb should have known that rental properties like the one in Etobicoke, where the shooting occurred, were commonly used for parties and attracted violence. Airbnb subsequently removed the house from its listings.
