Almost two million people cheered the NBA champions Toronto Raptors in a victory celebration that was marred after four people were shot during the parade. Police said none of the injuries were life-threatening, and added that three arrests have been made and two guns recovered in the aftermath of the incident. The shots were fired during the victory speeches causing hundreds of people to scatter for cover, but Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau insisted: 'We won’t let this act of violence take away from the spirit of the parade.' The Raptors victory beat the Golden State Warriors in Game 6 of the NBA finals last week to become the first non-US team to claim the championship.
