ISIS is claiming responsibility for last week’s mass shooting in Toronto that left two dead, calling alleged gunman Faisal Hussain a “soldier of the Islamic State”:

Although the terror group didn’t release any evidence to back this up:

Isis claims responsibility for #Toronto attack but provides zero evidence.

Statement: "The attacker "was a soldier of the Islamic State and carried out the attack in response to calls to target the citizens of the coalition countries"#Danforth https://t.co/739BvZx7NE

But CBS News did report, quoting “investigators,” that Hussain “visited ISIS websites and may have expressed support for the terrorist group”:

Hussain’s family, however, says he suffered from mental issues:

But that narrative is being challenged in Canada:

Retd Toronto Police Officer on #TorontoShooter: "U can't do what he did & have severe mental problems. Heck, even a normal person couldn't just pick up an automatic gun, fire it 20 times, hit 14 ppl while on the move, reload several magazines, and then shoot out with the police."
