A man wielding a knife entered a home in Toronto on the evening of Feb. 12, 2018, and attacked two men who were sitting inside, Toronto police told reporters on Tuesday.
The man stabbed both men multiple times, police said, but was then stabbed himself. Both men died at the scene.
Toronto police did not provide a motive.
“This appears to be a random act of violence and is not targeted at any one particular group,” Toronto police spokesperson Constable Mark Tamblyn told reporters.
“These were two men sitting together and one of the victims was at the wrong place at the wrong time,” the police chief added. “They were both in a separate room, at a different place in the residence.”
