TORONTO \u2013 Toronto police say they believe a man and a woman killed in a shooting outside an east-end hospital Monday afternoon were married.<\/p>\n

Duty senior officer Scott Shutt says the woman was a patient at the hospital, Providence Healthcare, and the shooting took place in the parking lot.<\/p>\n

He says the shooting is being investigated as a homicide. There have been no arrests and there are no outstanding suspects.<\/p>\n

Shutt says police will remain at the scene for several hours.<\/p>\n

Police say officers responded to the area of Warden Avenue and St. Clair Avenue East around 12:30 p.m. and found two people with gunshot wounds.<\/p>\n

Investigators are asking anyone with information to contact them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Shutt also encouraged people who were in the area at the time to get support if they need it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt happened behind me here in a large parking lot, numerous people would have been aware of it happening after the fact so I encourage people to reach out because it is a traumatic incident that occurred,\u201d he said in a news conference outside the hospital.<\/p>\n

Unity Health Toronto, which operates Providence Healthcare, said in a statement that the hospital campus is secure, and appointments booked for Tuesday will continue as scheduled.<\/p>\n
