Three shootings across Toronto over the
weekend lent urgency to a
"Stop the Violence" march held Sunday
afternoon.
Just hours after hundreds of people
gathered in Nathan Phillips Square to begin
the anti-violence walk, a 16-year-old boy
was shot in the Sheppard Avenue East
and Neilson Road area.
It was the third shooting of the weekend.
Early Saturday morning, a 17-year-old was
shot in the stomach at a house party in
Etobicoke.
Later that same day, a 14-year-old boy was
shot in the stomach in a drive-by shooting
while attending a picnic with his friends at
the Eglinton Flats in the Jane Street and
Eglinton Avenue West area.
About 150 people were in the area at the
time.
All three teenagers are in stable condition.
Sunday's two-kilometre march was
organized by the Toronto Argonauts
Foundation, created last summer in the
middle of a year marked by a record 52
gun-related deaths.
