TORONTO (Reuters) - Several people were wounded in a shooting at Toronto's Eaton Centre, one of the city's top tourist destinations and its main downtown mall, local media reported on Saturday.

The Toronto Star website reported that three people were said to be wounded, at least one seriously. Shots were heard in the mall's food court and the entire mall was being evacuated, the report said.

A Reuters reporter at the scene saw at least a dozen police cars, with a yellow police line keeping people a block from the mall.

One television report said a boy aged 13 or 14 and a man in his 20s or 30s were taken to downtown hospitals. The report also said that police had told people on the scene that the shooter was still in the mall.

Mass shootings are relatively rare in Canada, which has stringent controls on handguns.
