Police say the girls were arrested near the scene of the attack. Three of them are 13 years old, three are 14 and two are 16. Detective Sgt. Terry Browne of the Toronto Police Service Homicide Squad says the girls got into an altercation earlier in the night in that area. Hey says they met on social media and come from various parts of Toronto.
