The CN Tower dimmed its lights at the top of each hour Sunday evening in homage to the victims of the Salsa on St. Clair shooting that occurred Saturday night.

Two men were killed at the festival during an exchange of gunfire that sent at least four others to hospital with serious gunshot wounds. Toronto Police said an estimated 13,000 people were attending the festival when shots rang out shortly after 8 p.m. Saturday in the area of St. Clair Avenue West and Arlington Avenue.

Witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots followed by screams from crowds of people running for cover. The final day of Salsa on St. Clair was cancelled as police continue to investigate the incident.
