TORONTO, June 18 (Xinhua) -- Police are seeking a fourth person involved in the shooting that injured four people at a rally celebrating the Toronto Raptors' first NBA championship in downtown Toronto Monday afternoon.

Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders told a press conference on Tuesday that police are looking for a "person of interest" whom he described as a white man with short light-brown hair and a heavy build. The man was wearing a white button-down shirt.

Saunders said police are also looking for the gun involved in the shooting because the shell casings at the scene don't match the two firearms they have already recovered.

The shooting happened at approximately 4 p.m. Monday when the Toronto Raptors team arrived at Nathan Phillips Square in downtown Toronto for the rally in honor of their NBA championship win.

Three suspects were arrested and two firearms were found soon after the shooting, in which four people were wounded.
