An 18-year-old woman set to begin a nursing degree in the fall and a 10-year-old girl were killed when a gunman rampaged down a busy Toronto street on Sunday night.

The alleged gunman, identified as 29-year-old Faisal Hussain of Toronto, died at the scene along the city鈥檚 Danforth Avenue. Police said that 13 others, ranging in age from 17 to 59, were injured.

Reese Fallon, 18, was a member of a local Young Liberals club and was enrolled in the nursing program at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont.

The 10-year-old victim was identified by police as Julianna Kozis from Markham, Ont., a city just north of Toronto. Her family has asked for privacy.

In an emotional Instagram post, Fallon鈥檚 younger sister said she was 鈥渁s close to perfect as it can get.鈥�

鈥淵ou were not only my sister but you were my everything and my love and my whole world,鈥� she wrote.

Beaches鈥擡ast York MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith told local news station CP24 that he had spoken to Fallon鈥檚 family and they are 鈥渄evastated.鈥�

鈥淭his is a loss for all of us,鈥� Erskine-Smith said.

The flags were lowered to half-staff at Malvern Collegiate Institute in memory of Fallon, who was a recent graduate of the school. A teacher there, Anthony Parisi, said that Fallon planned to be a mental health nurse.

鈥淭his loss is even more profound because, knowing what I know of Reese, she would鈥檝e been an exceptional nurse because she was a natural caregiver,鈥� he said on Tuesday.

Julie Steel, a family friend, created a scholarship in honour of Fallon that will help future graduates afford nursing school.

A neighbour of Fallon鈥檚 in Toronto鈥檚 Beaches neighbourhood said that she used to babysit his children. He described her as 鈥渓ovely.鈥�

鈥淪he would come early morning sometimes and play games with my kids,鈥� the neighbour told CTV Toronto. 鈥淪he was outgoing, very friendly. I鈥檓 totally shocked.鈥�

Olympic swimmer Penny Oleksiak went to high school with Fallon and described her classmate on Twitter as 鈥渁mazing and so sweet.鈥�

鈥淢y prayers go out to everyone affected, especially Reese鈥檚 family,鈥�

鈥業 can鈥檛 forget her face鈥�

Ali Demircan, who was grazed on the back by a bullet during the shooting, believes that he was one of the last people to see Fallon alive.

Demircan told CTV鈥檚 Genevieve Beauchemin that he was drinking coffee with friends on a stone bench near Danforth Avenue and Logan Avenue around 10 p.m. when he heard the shots.

鈥淧eople started screaming and they were running around,鈥� he said. 鈥淭he guy was walking from east to west on the Danforth and he was firing to anyone he sees.鈥�

Demircan, an immigrant from Turkey, said he hid behind the stone bench to protect himself.

When the gunshots stopped, he stood up and saw a young woman with long, dark hair wearing a white shirt and a black skirt. She was holding her arm and asked him to call 911, he said.

Gunshots soon rang out again, and his friend pulled him aside, he added.

鈥淚 feel some burn on my back and I thought that I got hit,鈥� he said. He described hiding inside an SUV before running to a park where he called 911. Just then, emergency responders arrived.

鈥淲hen I turned back here to the crime scene, I saw the girl lying down,鈥� he said. 鈥淭hey were trying to save her.鈥�

鈥淚 just heard that she鈥檚 18 years old and it鈥檚 terrible,鈥� Demircan went on. 鈥淚t鈥檚 nightmare. I can鈥檛 forget her face. She was looking at me. It鈥檚 terrible.鈥�

Demircan said he hasn鈥檛 been able to sleep since the incident. 鈥淲henever I close my eyes, I remember her face,鈥� he said.

Demircan said he saw at three other gunshot victims, all women, lying on the ground.

As of Tuesday evening, eight of those injured remained in hospitals, including three in critical condition. The rest have been released.

Chris Budo, a candidate for city council in the ward where the shooting took place, told 麻豆影视 Channel that he knows two of the gunshot victims 鈥� a woman who owns a local cleaning shop and her son.

鈥淭he man screamed at them to get out of the way and proceeded to shoot them in the lower legs,鈥� he said. 鈥淰ery, very scary.鈥�

On Monday night, a vigil was held for the victims.
