A makeshift memorial has also been set up at Danforth and Logan, where many have left flowers, signs, and more messages.

Well last night it moved next door. #danforthattack. My husband and I wondered at all the sirens whipping by in the night and woke to this horror. Man shoots into restaurant. As if the last ‘next door’ wasn’t close enough. It’s all next door, it’s all home. #danforthstrong pic.twitter.com/XZke7VXjME
