There’s “no evidence to support” Islamic State’s claim of responsibility for this weekend’s deadly attack in Toronto, police in the Canadian city said Wednesday. “Since Sunday evening, all areas of the Toronto Police Service have been involved in this investigation,” the statement said. “We have received assistance from law enforcement partners at every level… At this stage, we have no evidence to support these claims.” IS (formerly ISIS) had claimed credit for the Sunday night attack which killed an 18-year-old woman and a 10-year-old girl. Police said the attack was not linked to terrorism. The suspect, Faisal Hussain, 29, died after allegedly opening fire in a crowded outdoor area Sunday, ABC News reported.
