Gun problems plague cities across Canada

Heather Sokoloff, National Post
published: Thursday, December 29, 2005
Toronto is not the only Canadian metropolis
with a gun problem. Police across the country
are seizing more and more handguns
-- all of them illegal
-- as the problem moves from gangs to what
were once safe city streets.
In the past six months, an Edmonton girl was
shot on her 18th birthday by a low-level criminal
cruising the suburbs with a gun in his car.
Two men walked into a Vancouver restaurant
one afternoon and started shooting, making a
room full of innocent bystanders fear for their
lives.
Police in Regina apprehended a stash of four
automatic machine guns.
Constable Howard Chow of the Vancouver Police
Department remembers five or 10 years ago that
police would be surprised to find the occasional
gun on the person or in the car of a criminal
suspect.
"Now every night it seems there is a gun-related
incident," Const. Chow said. The problem in
Vancouver is so bad police created a new squad
to patrol the downtown entertainment district on
nights and weekends to keep gang members in
check.

Jane Creba Vigil - War against Violence!

Hundreds demand end to violence
in Toronto at vigil for slain teen
at 0:32 on December 31, 2005, EST.
TORONTO (CP)
- A vigil for a slain 15-year-old drew
hundreds of supporters on a cold Friday night to
remember Jane Creba and demand an end to
violence in the city.
The schoolgirl's friends sat together on the cold
pavement and wept as speakers offered their
sympathies and spoke about how the unending
violence is destroying so many lives.
"There's no reason why we should be here
tonight, there's absolutely none. (Jane)
should still be here, this shooting was absolutely
senseless," said a friend of Jane's named Adam.
"It's terrible to see that it took (so many) murders
for us to make such a big deal out of this,"
he said.
"Every time someone else dies, we fail them as a
city . . . and it's time it stops."
Candles were lit for each of the 52 people killed
by guns in Toronto in 2005.
Police have vowed to work around the clock to
bring to justice those behind Creba's "despicable"
killing, the result of a Boxing Day shootout that
officials say brought the growing plague of gun
violence to the front door of every Toronto
resident.
The shooting has galvanized many in the city and
Friday night's memorial was organized by people
who didn't even known Creba.
Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty attended the
vigil - along with cabinet colleagues George
Smitherman, Gerard Kennedy and Monte Kwinter
- and said he was glad to see so many people
turned out to support the Creba family.
"People have come out tonight to give expression
to what I believe is a very strong, collective desire,
on the part of all Torontonians, to extend their
sincere sympathies to Jane's family and to
express their common revulsion and disdain
for the continuing violence that has been
affecting this community," McGuinty said.
Toronto Mayor David Miller met with the Creba
family earlier in the day and told them the entire
city is offering their support.
"One of the things I mentioned to the Creba
family was that there are two-a-half million
people praying for them," said Miller.
"Torontonians are with that family, there's
absolutely no question about that.
"Yonge Street is our street.
Every family, wherever you're from in this city,
every family has come down to Yonge Street
on Boxing Day," the mayor said.
"I think that's one of the reasons this shooting
has so shocked everybody. . . . It's like a shooting
happening in front of your house."
Other people stepped up to an open microphone
Friday night to tell their story - often through
tears and anger - of a friend or relative who
was killed in gun violence.
While one man called for politicians to impose
marshal law in Toronto other speakers said
that the root cause of the violence must be
addressed.
The premier offered no specific promises but
said the government would work to do more
to stop the violence.
"All three levels of government and the police
have been working very hard to resolve this
issue. There are no quick fixes, no magic
solutions but I think we can all come to the
conclusion that what we've done so far has
been less than effective," McGuinty said.
A memorial of flowers continues to grow near
the spot on the busy Yonge Street where
Creba, an innocent bystander, was gunned
down.
Still, the brazen shootout - which wounded
six others - has sparked an outrage yet
unseen in a year when gun crimes dominated
the local news.
"The way this took place, just the
senselessness of the whole thing. . .it's just
outrageous," said Det. Sgt. Savas Kyriacou,
the lead investigator in the case.
"Anybody can see it's just a totally senseless
act, a despicable act."
Homicide investigators routinely deal with the
most horrendous of crimes, but Kyriacou cited
the time, location, and innocence of the victim
in explaining why the shooting has captured
the public's attention.
"Put everything into that to provide a whole
picture as to why it has outraged the city,"
said Kyriacou.
"Everybody's working around the clock on
this case. It's the number-one priority for me."
While police remained tight-lipped about the
investigation, court documents reveal one of
the two men arrested in connection with the
shootout faces numerous gun charges.
It's alleged that Andre Thompson, 20, was
carrying a 9-mm Ruger semi-automatic and
10 rounds of ammunition at the time of his
arrest the night of the shooting. He faces further
charges of firing a gun into a crowd and
violating his probation.
Thompson, who is scheduled to appear in bail
court Wednesday, has not been charged in
connection with Creba's shooting nor has the
second suspect, a 17-year-old who cannot be
named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
Better social programs for at-risk youth, a
handgun ban, and increased efforts at the
border to stop the illegal flow of guns from the
United States will be critical in the city's fight
against gun violence, Miller said.
Meanwhile, grief counsellors were brought
into Riverdale Collegiate Institute for a second
day to console some two dozen of Creba's
classmates still grappling with the tragedy.
"There's anger. . .but I would say sadness is
the overwhelming (emotion)," said Dave
Johnston, a social work co-ordinator with the
school.
Some 150 students came to the school on
Thursday to speak with counsellors and
remember the popular student athlete.

This means war against gangs in Toronto.
We are all tired of the killings of the
innocent bystanders but we also don't want
gang killing either.
The gangs must be broken up and the teens
find a better way of dealing with anger.
I am not accepting that proverty causes
gangs. I believe its laziness and downright
disregard for human life!

Like Natalee Holloway’s apparent
murder in Aruba this year,
17-year-old Becky’s murder in 1996,
when she visited Bermuda with her
friend Jasmine Meens, is likely to make people
think twice about safety of travel overseas for
young people. Also, these cases, and others
like them, point out the differences, not only in
laws, but in attitudes that lead to definitions of justice.
In Becky’s case, one of the accused murderers,
Kirk Mundy, secured a deal to testify against his
accomplice, Justis Smith, in return for being charged
only as an accomplice.
The result was judicial failure that caused international
shock. The evidence was there. The dying child, whom
passersby had found almost naked in the middle of an
isolated road, had been stabbed and cut 35 times,
beaten, tortured, raped, sodomized and murdered.
Pressure is still needed on the burmuda government
to charge the Kirk Mundy, and Justis Smith with
kidnapping and rape charges since the murder
charge cannot be retried.

Aruba's New Craziness!

THAT DREADED TRADEMARK SHIRT AGAIN
HAUNTS US

reports that:
Friday, December 30, 2005
Controversy tonight on 2 shows...on Rita's she had
Steve Cohen, Jossy, and John Q. Kelly.
Host pushed hard questions on Cohen. S
he stressed he had said in 10 days (10th tomorrow)
the 3 would be in for questioning.
He stumbled around it and said Kalpoe attorneys were
against them being questioned.
Said we needed to be patient they would be
requestioned.
Then on Greta's she spoke with Robin Holloway
who had spoken with Karin J. today by phone.
She said Karin said they would not be requestioning
the 3 as they are not agreeing to it.
Asked them to give til end of January.
Assured them case was not over, not stopped,
continuing and still investigating.
Easy to see why faith is hard to come by in hoping
for resolution of this case. Cohen is supposed to
be briefed every day by Dolpho and he's telling
them they will be questioned and before Joran
returned to school. He also said Joran could be
questioned in Holland. He is stringing the American's
along as a paid PR guy for Aruba. More time,
more time, more time, then something will happen.
Earlier statements that the 3 could be brought in
at any time for questioning. Now we have Karin
telling the father and stepmother no questioning
because they haven't agreed to it. For months we
have been told they could be called back in for
questioning at any time. Free to roam around
Aruba for Kalpoes but still suspects. Joran free to
go to Holland for school but still a suspect.
Can question any time. So what happens now?
Does Karin lose her job once it hits Aruban airwaves
that she spoke with and told this to Robin who
told it on Greta.
Is she to be the one person held accountable for
anything in this case?
If she is it is just more ridiculous than before.
MO Does Cohen continue to speak and give different
information?
Do they replace him with yet another spokesperson?

Well what happens now?
How do you investigate if you have
to get permission?
what kind of laws do they have in
Aruba?
Is this insane or what?
and why should the students on the
trip cooperate if the
MAIN AND ONLY SUSPECTS
will not?

TORONTO SAYS NO TO GUNS!

Gunfight charges laid
20-year-old facing eight counts was
out on parole

Chris Wattie and Siri Agrell, with files from Melissa Leong
National Post; with files from and Global News
Friday, December 30, 2005
TORONTO - Police have charged a 20-year-old man
with various weapons offences related to the
Boxing Day shootout on Yonge Street, in which a
15-year-old girl was killed and six other people were
injured.
Andre Thompson had been out on probation for
just over two months in connection with a robbery
charge and a court order ruled he was barred
from possessing any weapons.
According to court documents obtained yesterday,
Thompson is facing eight charges relating to
Monday's incident, including pointing a firearm
and discharging a weapon "at a large group of
unknown persons."
He is also charged with possession of a restricted
weapon, possession of a loaded weapon,
possession of a stolen weapon and violating the
terms of his parole order, issued on Oct. 6.
Thompson and an unidentified 17-year-old were
picked up at a subway station less than half an
hour after the gun battle erupted near Yonge
and Elm streets.
Police seized a 9-mm semi-automatic handgun
from the men.
The younger man, who may not be named under
the Youth Criminal Justice Act, also faces
charges, but it is not clear what those charges
are.
Jane Creba, a Grade 10 student, was killed
when a spray of shots followed a dispute
between two groups of about 15 young men
outside the busy Foot Locker store.
Six other people were injured, one of them
critically.
Constable Wendy Drummond of the
Toronto Police Service said Thompson has not
been charged in the fatality or the other
casualties.
"We are still awaiting forensic tests on the
weapon for that," Const. Drummond said.
Detectives are hoping the two men will lead
them to about a dozen others believed to have
been involved in the altercation that led to the
shootout.
Police have also said they are still seeking at
least one other handgun used in the shooting.
Chief Bill Blair has said his officers are
"aggressively" pursuing the case and vowed to
bring everyone involved to justice, including the
"gangs that support what was going on down
there. We're going to lock them up."
Toronto police have had limited success at catching
many of the gunmen behind a rash of shootings
this year in Canada's largest city.
Jane was the 52nd person shot dead in Toronto
this year, but police acknowledge there have
been arrests in only about a third of those
shootings. Const. Drummond said 34 of this
year's fatal shootings remain "open cases."
Detective Sergeant Doug Quan, head of the
Toronto police gang section, acknowledged
that there has been criticism of police
effectiveness in tackling violent gangs.
"There is some truth there," Det-Sgt. Quan
said. "But the truth is also that we have been
pretty successful in locking up some fairly
serious and more senior gang members that
does create a void within some gangs in
some parts of the city."
He said it can be difficult to investigate gangs
with often fluid memberships and
ever-changing activities and leaders.
"What we know about them changes from
day to day."
Yesterday, the first paramedic on the scene of
Monday's shooting revisited the place where
Jane fell and where a makeshift memorial has
sprung up.
"My heart breaks for her," Lucia Campisi told
Global News as she stood in front of the
collection of teddy bears and flowers.
Ms. Campisi said she was overwhelmed when
she first arrived on the chaotic scene of the
Boxing Day shooting, but quickly began trying
to save Jane, who was clearly the most seriously
injured.
But the teenager was taken to hospital with no
vital signs and was declared dead soon after.
After hours of working on victims of the
shootings, Ms. Campisi said she went home
feeling "numb" and is now getting counselling
to deal with the incident.
"At one point, I was inconsolable for a couple
of hours."
Throughout the day, Jane's friends gathered
around the memorial, crying and clutching
photos of their friend. Light rain dampened the
letters people had written. One that was taped
to the store window read: "Dear Jane, I am a poor,
young black woman who has unfortunately both
lived among the gang lifestyle and been victim
of crime myself.
"I'm sorry you have been taken from your
friends, family and all of us way too soon by
this heartless, senseless violence. I'm sorry our
paths will never cross one day physically, but I
feel they have spiritually," said the hand-printed
letter, in capital letters.
John Tory, the Ontario Conservative leader,
visited the shooting scene yesterday morning,
leaving a bouquet of red roses, before holding a
news conference nearby at which he called for
the immediate implementation of measures to
address gun violence in Toronto.
"We have been in denial for several years now as
to how serious this problem really is," he said.
"The time for denial is over."
Mr. Tory called for another 1,000 police officers
on Toronto streets, as well as an end to
sentencing deals and plea bargains for weapons
offences.
He also said the federal government must
implement a promised increase to mandatory
minimum sentences for gun crimes by
April 30, 2006.
Mr. Tory said Toronto also needs to expand
social programming for the city's troubled
neighbourhoods. He acknowledged that many
of the cuts to such programs occurred during
the provincial reign of his party under
Mike Harris.
"Everybody has to shoulder a share of the
blame," he said. "If it's about fixing past mistakes,
then so be it."

Police will find these shooters and justice will be done.
Unfortunately it will be too late for the 15 year old
innocent victim. Many Torontonians are shocked
that violence is so common these days and it is
unfortunate that so many gangs are on our streets.
Obviously Tookie Williams death has shown them
nothing!
A life is a precious thing and no one should take it easily!

Don't be a daterape victim!

How can I protect myself from being a victim?
Don't accept drinks from other people.
Open containers yourself.
Keep your drink with you at all times, even when you
go to the bathroom.
Don't share drinks.
Don't drink from punch bowls or other large, common,
open containers. They may already have drugs in them.
Don't drink anything that tastes or smells strange.
Sometimes, GHB tastes salty.
Have a non-drinking friend with you to make sure
nothing happens.
If you think that you have been drugged and
raped:
Go to the police station or hospital right away.
Get a urine (pee) test as soon as possible.
The drugs leave your system quickly.
Rohypnol leaves your body 72 hours after you take it.
GHB leaves the body in 12 hours.
Don't urinate before getting help.
Don't douche, bathe, or change clothes before getting help.
These things may give evidence of the rape.
You also can call a crisis center or a hotline to talk with a counselor.
One national hotline is the National Domestic Violence Hotline
at 800-799-SAFE or 800-787-3224 (TDD).
Feelings of shame, guilt, fear and shock are normal.
It is important to get counseling from a trusted professional.

DATE RAPE: Ladies fight this crime

DATE RAPE: Ladies, we need to stop being victims!
YOUNG women are being given protective bottle tops to
prevent their drinks being spiked with date rape drugs.
Alcotop is an exciting new product in the war against
Drug Rape and Drink Spiking.
Due to the unfortunate incident of their son having his drink
spiked Nicci and Dean Welsh have got together with Bev
and Brian Hawes to develop alcotop.alcotop is a specially
designed bottle top which can be bought over the bar in clubs,
pubs and online is easily fitted over the neck of a bottle.
You only need to buy one for the evenings drinking as alcotop
can be taken from bottle to bottle and at the end of the evening
taken home and used again on your next night out.
It fits nearly all Alcopop and Beer bottles and is easy to use,
its snap fit lid makes spiking extremely difficult.
Brightly coloured alcotop shows would be spikers that you
are aware of the drug problem and that you are vigilant,
they will move their attentions to someone without alcotop
who will be seen as easier prey.Even when using alcotop
we still urge drinkers not to leave drinks unattended as
no system can be totally tamper proof.

Half and half -by Melville Cooke

RECENT EVENTS of the lactose
intolerant kind have once
again raised the sometimes smelly
question of what exactly a woman
should get from her ex-husband upon a divorce.
In fact, the issue goes beyond marriage, but still
seems very difficult to swallow without a swig of beer, or
some essential seasons.
The issue is, strictly speaking, not what a woman should
get from her husband, but how the assets of a splitting
couple should be split. The fact that we almost invariably
see it as what the woman should receive, speaks to an
entrenched historical imbalance in earning power.
The 'see' is becoming more level with the 'saw' through
education, but still real wealth is still seen as a male
preserve.
Except in extreme cases of trickery, I support the notion
that a couple's assets should be split equally when the
relationship goes belly up. In the long term, that applies
to whether they are married or not. In other words, save
for a situation of the extreme where a senile man gives in
to the only basic instinct he has left and weds a lass who
has the assets to wean him away from his money,
I believe the woman should get half.
BEYOND THE STANDARD
The reason goes beyond the standard "she and him build
together, so she should get the money instead a some new
woman who has just come on the scene and has not been
through the struggling days". It has to do more with shelf
life and, simply.
Women simply do not wear well. The gym is fine to lift the
glutes, face-lifts are great to lift cheeks of the more normally
visible kind, make-up smoothes out the dents of collision
with life and clothes can cleverly conceal or enhance.
But there is no stopping that infernal biological clock, which
limits a woman's reproductive capabilities. Men fire live
bullets as long as the nozzle is not hanging down.
This, among other factors, makes it simply easier for a
man to start over, to have a fulfilling relationship after
he and a woman break up. Splitting assets evenly will
not make up for the time a woman has spent with a man
while the hatchables dribble away, but I am sure there
is less bitterness in loneliness with something from the
lost relationship than without.
There is no compensation for leeching away somebody's
most productive years, in one way or the other, but the
cash is a good start.
There is, of course, the matter of what contribution the
woman has made to the assets that she is supposed to
be entitled to half of. Certainly, in many cases, she did
not help make the hops or process the soy, but there is
no value which can be put on the encouragement that a
person gives their partner as he or she either pursue his
or her dream or consolidate the actualisation of those
objectives. Sharing a dream, a goal, a vision is very
much a contribution; giving encouragement when things
look very bleak is invaluable and is worth something.
There is, of course, the argument that some women do
not make even that contribution, that the relationship
was simply terrible for the man. In that case, he
deserves to be punished for being damned stupid.
Any man who stays with a harpy or keeps a woman
around for decorative and pin cushion value deserves
to lose more than half.
SUPPORT
There is also the notion that a woman marries a wealthy
man and, a short time after, acts up and gets half of what
she did not work for. Fair enough, but there is the
matter of punishment again. Show me the man who
has achieved without the support of a woman and I
will show you a man who has achieved with the support
of a man. We don't 'mel' with the latter, but in the
former case if the woman who went through the rough
times is jilted over, then the man deserves to be
punished for his terrible treatment by being taken
half way to the cleaners by the person he hooks up
with when he has 'made it'.
And although I have spoken from the perspective of
fairness towards women, I also believe that it applies
the other way around.
Equality of the sexes should not be a convenient
one-way street.

Woman's body found in trunk!

Woman's body found in trunk
Last updated Dec 28 2005 05:07 PM AST
CBC NEWS

RCMP are investigating the discovery of a
Woman's body in the trunk of her car near Halifax.
The 36-year old was reported missing around 10:15
Tuesday night when she failed to return from a
shopping trip.
A couple of hours later, a family member spotted
the woman's 1997 green Chevrolet Cavalier in a
parking lot at the Beechville Lakeside Timberlea
elementary school in Timberlea.
"The family went in search and found the vehicle,"
said Sgt. Frank Skidmore, an RCMP spokesperson.
When officers arrived at 12:30 a.m., they found the
woman's body inside the trunk.
RCMP are releasing few details, but say there is no
evidence of struggle and no weapon was found at
the scene.
The car was not damaged and nothing appears to be
missing.
The woman's name has not been made public.
But people in the neighbourhood say she was a
teacher at the elementary school.
Results of a preliminary autopsy are expected Thursday.

Faces assault charges for forcing
device down girlfriend's throat
The Associated Press
Updated: 9:29 p.m. ET Dec. 27, 2005
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A Missouri man has been charged
with forcing a cell phone down his ex-girlfriend’s throat last
week.
Police in Kansas City say Marlon Brando Gill has been
charged with felony assault.
According to court documents, Melinda Abell told detectives
that Gill grabbed her by the mouth and shoved the cell phone
until it became lodged in her throat.
Surgeons had to remove it.
Police initially issued a statement saying Abell, 24, had
swallowed the phone.
A spokesman explained that investigators weren’t able to
talk to her until after the surgery.
Early Friday, police in Blue Springs, Mo., responded to a
call from Gill, who said Abell was having trouble breathing.
Police arrived to find her with the phone lodged in her throat.
Police were initially told that Gill wanted the phone and Abell
tried to swallow it so that he could not get it.

After reading this last week I thought how stupid
of this woman to shove a Cellphone down her
throat. ?????

therapists say.Winter typically connotes a season
of merriment and joy, but for those with a history
of drug and alcohol use, it can cause an avalanche
of setbacks.
Cousellors at area treatment centers believe that drug
and alcohol relapses are more likely to occur during
the winter months, particularly because of holiday
stress.
They claim during Thanksgiving and New Year's, they
notice a decline in the number of people seeking
addiction treatment.
In January the numbers soar again.
Stress caused by financial anxieties can lead to drug and
alcohol relapse.
Holiday parties where alcohol is served can also be a
temptation, especially for those early in recovery.
It is believed Clinical depression may also be a factor.
Depression can worsen during winter for some people,
making it more difficult to maintain sobriety.
Medical Center emergency rooms treats more
alcohol-related injuries in the winter and particularly
on holidays
"Holidays are highest-risk times, but I don't want people
to think the rest of the year is smooth sailing."
Its a personal battle that is a lifetime commitment.
”One person admitted during the early years
of sobriety it is especially important to keep
on a program during the winter. During his
first few years after quitting drinking, every
holiday revolved around AA-sponsored
parties, dances and meetings.Programs like
AA alone cannot keep a person sober, he
stressed, only the committed person with
the desire not to drink.
But what they can do is help provide
alternatives”
Therapists agree. People with a history of drugs or alcohol
abuse should approach the winter months with a plan.
Always talk about the holidays before they happen and
plan your movements.
If it’s an alcohol bash where there is a lot of drinking and
carrying on, that's probably not where you want to be.
Please remember, Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics
Anonymous provide special events on holidays.
AA holds an all-day, drop-in meeting called an
"Alcothon," and their dances and parties are outlets for
those who desire substance-free fun.
It is amazing how many alcoholics and addicts ... think
everyone's going to be drinking, and it's amazing how many
people don't.
If you plan carefully weddings, Christmas, New Year's can
really be an awful lot of fun, and you can enjoy and know
everything's going on in a sane and sober way."
Let your host know you are recovering but would love
to attend.
Chances are your host/hostess will provide special effects
for you.
HAVE A SAFE AND GOOD HOLIDAY!

Group sex?

Canada's group sex club patrons swinging free
Mon Dec 26, 2005 4:30 PM GMT
By Robert Melnbardis
MONTREAL (Reuters) - On a recent night out on the town, Michel and Chantal Delbecchi left their suburban Montreal home and drove to the L'Orage Club in the city's east end, where they had sex with a couple they had never met before.
The Delbecchis, husband and wife since 1978, are "echangistes," French for "swingers," who for the past 21 years have been visiting clubs like L'Orage (Thunderstorm) to have consensual sex in a group with one or more other people.
For future outings, they will no longer have to fear police will raid the club and arrest them for being in a "bawdy house," a place where prostitution or acts of public indecency take place.
In a landmark decision on Dec, 21, the Supreme Court of Canada lifted a ban on swingers' clubs, ruling that group sex among consenting adults is neither prostitution nor a threat to society.
The ruling sparked outrage, largely in English-speaking parts of Canada, where critics said it would erode limits on indecency or obscenity, encourage prostitution and even contribute to the corruption of minors.

Khadr seeks bail today-Mother shows her respect?

A Canadian accused of supplying weapons to al-Qaida and
plotting to kill Pakistan's prime minister will be seeking his
freedom in a Toronto courtroom today.
Department of justice lawyer Robin Parker said she'll
be opposing the release of Abdullah Khadr, 24, when his
lawyers bring their bail application in Superior Court.
Describing the case against Khadr as "complex," Parker
said she'll be relying upon the information from American
documents in which Khadr is alleged to have admitted
his role in supplying explosives for land mines to be
used against Americans in Afghanistan.
If Khadr is detained, he'll be in custody until he
faces extradition on the U.S. charges.
With his brother, Abdurahman , mother and
grandmother seated behind him, Khadr
appeared briefly in court under tight security
yesterday.
His mother remained seated when the judge
entered the room, defying court customs.
She refused to stand despite the urgings of her
son Abdurahman, 22.
The family and their lawyer Dennis Edney declined comment.

THIS IS THE RESPECT CANADA GETS FROM IT 'S
IMMIGRANTS BUT THEY WANT US TO RESPECT
THEM.
WELL RESPECT IS A 2 WAY STREET.
RESPECT CANADAS FLAG AND CUSTOMS AS
WE RESPECT YOURS.

bullets fly on Toronto's Yonge St.

One killed as bullets fly on Toronto's Yonge St.
CTV.ca News Staff
As many as seven people were wounded in a series of
brazen Boxing Day shootings on Yonge Street
north of Dundas in the heart of downtown Toronto's shopping district.
The shootings happened about 5:15 p.m. near Yonge
and Gould, with hundreds of people on the streets.
One victim, a woman who had been standing in the
doorway of a Foot Locker store, had no vital signs after
being shot in the head.
Another person in the same doorway was also shot.
Other victims were at the Delta Chelsea hotel, a nearby
Pizza Pizza and a Red Lobster restaurant.
Two of the most seriously wounded were taken to nearby
St. Michael's Hospital where they are in critical condition.
At least other one victim, a 15-year-old with a bullet wound
in the leg, was taken from the Eaton Centre area by ambulance
to Sunnybrook Hospital.
The rest of the victims appeared to be in their late teens or
early twenties, except an off-duty police officer who was
also struck in the leg.
It's not known at this point if the victims were targeted,
or if some of the people were victims of random gunfire.
One witness, who would only identify himself as Vikram
said the shots rang out from a passing BMW that had
two men leaning out the windows with guns.
"People were screaming," he said.
"Everywhere in the shop they were down on the floor."
Toronto Police arrested two suspects at the Castle Frank
subway station. A firearm was seized at the arrest.
Emergency vehicles were crowded around the shooting
scene, and three blocks of the street were cordoned off
with yellow police tape.
The busy downtown area, popular with tourists and close
to the Eaton Centre and Dundas Square, was also the
site of two other shootings this year -- one in July,
the other in April.
There have been 78 murders in Toronto this year,
including a record 52 by gunfire.

Do you think a banned gun
was used?
SOME ONE DID NOT TELL THEM GUNS WERE
BANNED BY OUR PRIME MINISTER?
