Apparently one shooter. A man came in on an Air Canada flight with a gun in his checked luggage. After landing, he took his bag, went to the toilet, came out with a gun in his hand and started shooting.

Five passengers dead, eight taken to hospital.

The shooter has been arrested and police is now checking the ID he had on him. The name on the ID has been released by CNN.
