Police have made an arrest in the crossbow slaying of a man in a library in Toronto's east end.
The attack happened just after 4 p.m. ET Thursday at the Main Street Library, south of Gerrard Street East, police said.
The man, believed to be in his 40s, was pronounced dead at the scene after being struck down by a crossbow projectile known as a bolt, police told CBC News. A bolt is shorter than an arrow but can be much heavier.
Witnesses told CBC's Jermaine Hylton they saw a man approach the victim, who was sitting on a bench in the library, and then pepper-spray him. He was then shot, either in the face or the back, witnesses said.
Police officers saw a man run north on Main Street after the shooting. He jumped into a U-Haul rental truck and drove off.
Police tracked the truck, found it in the east-end Scarborough district and arrested the driver.
"It's still unclear exactly what sparked this incident. The motivation behind this killing is certainly a major factor here," said Const. Tony Vella.
You have to really hate someone to shoot them with a crossbow.
