Eight teenage girls, aged between 13 and 16, have been charged with murder for stabbing a 59-year-old man in downtown Toronto, Canada, according to reports.
The girls seem to have met online before meeting in person on the night of the attack, possibly for the first time, said the police.
The attack came just hours before a mass shooting in Vaughn, Ontario, a small city just outside of Toronto.
Police believe the man may have been preyed upon because he was spotted carrying alcohol.
“A group of bystanders flagged down emergency services after finding the man with stab wounds,” said the Police officer.
The man was rushed to a nearby hospital with serious injuries and died shortly after.
None of the suspects can be identified under Canada’s Youth Criminal Justice Act but police said three of the suspects are 13 years old, another three are 14, and two are 16.
Investigators believe the girls may have got into other fights and have appealed to the public for more information.
