From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Toronto Police have confirmed two people are dead and three in hospital following a shooting at an OVO Fest after-party hosted by Drake.

The shootings are believed to have taken place at Muzik nightclub in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

Police said they responded to a call about shots being fired at the Muzik nightclub on the grounds of the Canada National Exhibition.

It was not immediately clear if he was present during the shooting.

Toronto Police Superintendent Frank Bergen told The Associated Press that the victims were a man and a woman in their 20s and 30s. Their names have not yet been released.

Police believe there could be more victims at other locations and urged citizens to contact authorities.
