TORONTO (AP) -- A man whose family said he suffered from psychosis and depression fired a handgun into restaurants and cafes in a lively Toronto neighborhood, killing a 10-year-old girl and an 18-year-old woman and wounding 13 others in an attack that has shaken the confidence of many in the normally safe city.
Authorities on Monday evening identified the suspect as Faisal Hussain, 29, of Toronto, who died in an exchange of gunfire with police. It was not immediately clear whether he killed himself or was killed by police.
The mass shooting in Toronto's Greektown district Sunday night came just three months after a van struck and killed 10 people in an apparent attack directed at women.
A statement from the family of Hussain said their son had severe mental health challenges that the struggled with psychosis and depression. They said medications did not help him and the interventions of professionals were unsuccessful. "While we did our best to seek help for him throughout his life of struggle and pain, we could never imagine that this would be his devastating and destructive end," the Hussain family said.
"Our hearts are in pieces for the victims and for our city as we all come to grips with this terrible tragedy. We will mourn those who were lost for the rest of our lives."

Severe Mental Health Challenge = ISLAMIST.
Ten bucks says it wasn’t schizophrenia but,rather,Sudden Jihad Syndrome.
I’ll go out on a limb, here:
Everyone who picks up a gun and starts killing everybody around him has a mental health problem;
not everyone who has a mental health problem picks up a gun and tries to kill everybody around him.
Sell your crazy somewhere else.
Sense and Sensibility
Where did he get the weapon if he was this deranged???
I call BS on derangement...He was a terrorist....
Islam IS a mental disorder
That statement was written by th Canadian version of cair, or by pajama boys liberal party offices. No way did illiterate savages form Pakistan write that. The kid was looking at Isis websites and had visited Afghanistan
This attack exposes two truths:
1. The Canadian government will rush to provide cover for islamists, and 2. the issue is NOT gun control.
The hoops one has to jump through to obtain a firearm (even moreso a handgun) and ammunition LEGALLY in Canada mean that his possession of the weapon was most likely already illegal. Kindly explain to me how another law would alter this?
That what the libtards say about every islamonazi who shoots infidels— that they’re “mentally ill” and this incredibly obvious lie is told so people won’t blame Islam (a hate group disguised as a religion)
Never forget—its not JUST about islam this is an Islamic Leftist alliance at work here.
Where did he get the weapon if he was this deranged???
The police Chief said ,Legitimate gun owners buy guns and sell them to people like this Killer , so I’m guessing these gun owners are Muslim . This should be fairly easy to stop but no the Mayor wants everyones guns ,that means the criminals get to keep theirs
Mental Health Challenges can be defined as Sudden Jihad Syndrome.
And gee, when the Toronto Maple Leafs were still winning Stanley Cups in the ‘60s, there were very casual gun control laws accompanied by very low homicide and violent crime rates.
If it was in the USA, the MSM would be vacillating between freaking out that he actually was able to get a gun and the old “how did he get radicalized?” analysis.
Both ways to avoid suggesting that Islamic terrorism is the true reason.
Severe case of jihadi syndrome, most likely.
What if the family has been coached to say this by authorities. And why wouldn’t a family play this mental illness up to offset the traumatic public shame they likely are feeling?
Two bonus questions: 1. How does inbreeding affect mental health in a population? 2. What is the incidence of inbreeding among Moslems?
