TORONTO — Police say a 21-year-old man is dead and a boy and a woman were wounded in a shooting in downtown Toronto.Saunders said the two males were targeted and the woman was an innocent bystander.“We don’t know where the victims were coming from. There were walking in two groups of two,” Saunders told a news conference Tuesday on the street near the shooting scene.
“As they crossed on to the west side of the curb, that is when the suspect vehicle made a U-turn and engaged in firing.” They were reports of people screaming and running from the scene near the intersection of King and Peter streets.Police say the wounded include a 15-year-old boy and a 27-year-old woman. Both are expected to recover.“By all indications it looks like the female who was shot has absolutely nothing to do with this, absolutely nothing,” he said.
“Just standing there and because of the suspect just shooting randomly an innocent person was caught in that crossfire.” Saunders said police are confident they will solve the case because of the amount of evidence they have already collected.Toronto city councillor Joe Cressy, who represents the area where the shooting took place, expressed his disappointment on Twitter.
“Our vibrant downtown community shaken,” Cressy wrote. “While Toronto Police Services investigates and our city’s crisis response team mobilizes to support those affected, collectively as a city we must all loudly reject this violence and work to stop it.”
But Trudeau and his dumb cop banned the guns. Hmmm. Some weren’t listening.
sunny_days62 I'm sure they'll turn in the guns used in this shooting
cityoftoronto will be a war zone in less than 10 years
Where’s Blair’s gun laws Thought taking away firearms solves this ? Ohh it’s criminals that’s fine!!
BillBlair oh look Bill was this your evil law abiding Canadians shooting up the the shit hole k own as Toronto? I think not. ...
Toronto the good. My ass.
Those damn licensed gun owners
So will we ever hear what type of gun was used? No. Odds are it wasn't one on the prohibited fire arms ban. This government is totally out to lunch on this policy. They need to actually address the problem with illegal guns and gang activity.
These hunters are causing a lot of problems BUT HUNTERS DON'T HAVE GUNS ANYMORE OH SHIT IT'S THE CRIMINALS THAT DON'T RESPECT GUN LAWS. TORONTOIANS DESERVES EVERYTHING THEY GET
Thought Blair and Trudeau banned guns. What's going on?
Diversity kills, Trudeau must be proud!
Those damn farmers
I wonder if it was commited by any of the firearms currently banned by the JustinTrudeau government 🙃
But Trudeau banned the bad guns! How is this possible! Don't they know there are new laws against this?
Anyone wanna play a game of Guess the Race?
Quick someone disarm a farmer!
Trudeau's idiotic gun laws have done nothing to stop the killings by guns.
We’re those legal guns Mr. Blair?
But guns were banned
TO is getting as bad as MY! Wise up Canada
Enjoying Trudeau’s “irregular” visitors and illegal guns GTA?
While BillBlair bloats bureaucracy and criminalizes hunters, farmers and sport shooters, violent crime continues unabated in our streets.
Guns kill people. Glad to see that the federal liberal government has taken this path to deal with this problem. Tell me when it works. Which will be never.
So this is shooting number two today, then? The other being in Scarborough. We're a bit behind 2019's numbers, but I'm sure the summer and relaxing of restrictions will help that along.
Dam hunters
That can’t be right. Didn’t Trudeau ban guns in Canada?
