After a shooting at a barbecue in eastern Toronto left two dead and 21 wounded, a Reddit user turned to Twitter to figure out all he could learn about those involved in the tragic event and share it with the r/Toronto community, a sub-group for discussion about the city. The post has since gone viral on Reddit and elsewhere on the social web.
(Note: The information below has not been independently verified. As the Redditor himself notes, “none of this is concrete evidence of anything’s having happened or anyone’s involvement in the shootings.”)
Reddit user BitchslappedByLogic claims that the party was hosted by Twitter user @2ToneShorty based on this post:

Bitchslappedbylogic noted that some people who may have been invited anticipated the party had the potential to turn violent:

Bitchslappedbylogic continued to dig through Twitter profiles of people apparently involved with the event, finding messages from victims and attendees:
