Two people were killed and several others injured after at least two shooters exchanged gunfire amid crowds of roughly 13,000 people at Canada’s biggest Latin street festival in Toronto on Saturday, police said. A total of six people were shot, and several suspects are believed to be at large after the shooting at the Salsa on St. Clair festival, Toronto Police Service Deputy Chief Frank Barredo said at a news conference late Saturday. Both of the deceased victims were men, Barredo said, while the four injured victims were taken to hospitals with “serious injuries.” Investigators have cordoned off three crime scenes and recovered two firearms, but there is no ongoing threat to the public, he added.

Anastasiya Minkova collapsed in shock when she arrived home from a trip last September to find that her husband had moved out and taken their two-year-old son. The US-Russian citizen is now fighting for custody of the child, who CNN is calling Ren to protect his identity. The last time Minkova saw Ren was six months ago – when they spent 30 minutes together, playing with toys at a children’s home, under the watchful eye of staff.

Jannik Sinner is starting to make a habit of responding to adversity in Paris with titles at Wimbledon. The top-ranked Sinner beat Alexander Zverev 6-7 (7), 7-6 (2), 6-3, 6-4 Sunday for his second consecutive title at the All England Club after his German opponent appeared bothered by a knee issue following a slip to the grass on a key point in the third set. Sinner’s fifth Grand Slam title came in his first tournament since a second-round meltdown at the French Open, when he wilted in a Paris heat wave.

My official business in Paris this week was to attend the haute couture shows, but throughout my time in the French capital I kept bumping into art. This is unsurprising in a city where you can’t walk more than a few yards before being drawn into a gallery or museum, but art was also woven into many of the collections. Fashion and the art world have long been bedfellows, and haute couture in particular is as close to art as fashion gets, but there’s something else going on. My take: In a challenging economy, the luxury world is hustling to connect with its customers, and art and culture are tried and true conversation starters. Even at Chanel — a brand that, with the creative steer of Matthieu Blazy, is having absolutely zero problems selling things — a live artist by the name of Joël Blanc was stationed front row to paint the show. Blazy’s collection centered on the idea of fairytales – the large twisting vines in the Grand Palais, recalling “Jack and the Beanstalk,” set the scene for whimsical storytelling through perfectly made clothes, with magic beans (and the occasional golden egg!) scattered throughout. See: delight-inducing shoes, a little row of ugly duckling to swan buttons, and a black revenge dress with wings that chased down the bridal gown. Jonathan Anderson is a well-known lover, collector and curator of art, and within Dior he joins a long lineage of designers who had a similar partiality. Christian Dior himself was a gallery owner before he became a couturier and many of the creative directors of the house have been inspired by the artists of their time. For Anderson’s sophomore couture collection, presented within the Musée Rodin, he turned to the work of a more modern sculptor: Lynda Benglis. The 84-year-old American makes unruly mixed media sculptures that have challenged the traditional art establishment (conventionalists found her use of latex and glitter most unsettling). Benglis has worked all over the world, but it was her connection to Santa Fe, New Mexico and Ahmedabad, in Gujarat, India that Anderson became most enraptured with, and the colors and textures of these two very different landscapes appear throughout the collection.
