Toronto police have identified the victims of a shooting that left three people dead, including the gunman, on Monday. 

Police say 54-year-old Arash Missaghi of Toronto, and 44-year-old Samira Yousefi of Concord, Ont., were killed at a commercial building in north Toronto.

They say the third person found dead is a 46-year-old man who is believed to be responsible for the shooting.
