Toronto, July 22 (IBNS): A commemoration ceremony was held yesterday at Greektown’s Withrow Park, Toronto to mark the anniversary of the shooting in Toronto’s Danforth which had taken the lives of 18-year-old Reese Fallon and 10-year-old Julianna Kozis, and injured 13 others, media reports said.

Faisal Hussain had walked through the neighbourhood on July 22, 2018, shooting at people on the street, on patios and in restaurants.

One year ago today, we were forever changed. Today, we remember those lost and impacted by the senseless tragedy on the Danforth. We also remember those who both responded and came together to help those in need. #TorontoStrong @Toronto_Fire @TorontoPolice @TorontoMedics pic.twitter.com/GbxZvH2OB4
