Police say one person dead in explosion in downtown Toronto
Toronto, April. 3 (AP): The heart of Toronto's trendy shopping district was brought to a standstill after an explosion killed one man at a popular Tim Hortons coffee shop.
Police would not confirm reports that a man had entered the washroom shortly before the blast yesterday with explosives strapped to his body. Another nearby Tim Hortons was shut down later in the day when a suspicious package was found there.
Police inspector Nick Memme would only say that an explosion occurred in the washroom at the rear of the restaurant, but said few other details were immediately available.
"We're early on in the investigation, still," Memme said.
Witnesses reported hearing a loud bang; police said no one else was involved and there were no other injuries.
Eunice Almeida, 23, a regular patron of the coffee-and-donut outlet, said she spoke to employees shortly after it was evacuated. One woman told her the blast was felt as a sudden shock through the store.
"There was an explosion in the men's washroom, then there was a stampede and everybody ran out," Almeida told The Canadian Press.
A Tim Hortons spokesman confirmed the dead man was not an employee, but his identity was not immediately known.
Later yesterday, a second Tim Hortons outlet in Toronto was locked down after a suspicious package was found there. Police confirmed an emergency task force unit had been dispatched to the second location - just a few subway stations north of the first - and the area was evacuated.
