It was a toy gun

No shock for police in this country… They shoot people on wellness checks!

Thank fudge Canada has competent police. Unlike those useless cops in Texas. Bravo TO police. 👏👏

Anyone have any info of identity of gunman

Police acted very quickly not like in Texas. I just hope this guy was not killed by mistake. It seems he hand not fired any shots and it’s not clear yet if he really had an active weapon they say long barrel. We just have to wait hopefully we get the full story soon

People like these shouldn't die, they have to be locked in to think about what they did. Their conscious will kill them.

Police should not be the only people with guns we the people need open carry laws in the shit hole of a country we the people need more open gun laws

We need open carry gun laws in Canada

Likely the best outcome givin the circumstances .. I'd rather they shot his legs out .. then they could ask him if he's part of a larger issue spawned by social media groups

You carry a gun illegally, you get shot. That's how it should be.

Now can they do that to all the car jacker

One day later. Fk me Canada you are also screwed.

hes holding a fake gun

It’s too early to really no what happen here RIP lost of live is always sad…..but there’s no sympathy here anytime you’re walking around with a gun on a residential street you’re always a Threat.

I guess someone found out 🤷🏽‍♂️

Keep teaching kids to be victims and take no responsibility. Today's liberal school culture has produced the least resilient soft weak depressed saddest humans ever. A 70's 12 yr old vs today's 12 yr old are different humans. 70s kids were raised to be Victor's not Victims!

I wish they'd shoot the legs out .. end the threat .. if wearin vest he's shooting back .. and someone that should be commin home for supper .. still does

One less fool to worry about!

I think the mention of the 'blanket' after preforming CPR was a dead giveaway.

Probably another illegal non registered gun

This is the next generation… shame on us…“I thought someone was trying to break into the school – I was just saying to myself – probably it’s the end of it,” she said.

You do copycat stuff..your doomed..period!

🇨🇦 Canada has 'Good guys with guns'...we call them Police 🇺🇸 wants to arm EVERYONE, the good, the bad and the ugly

too many toronto kids, watching social media and 6ixbuzz ant they chase clout, this generation is lost.

Major B.C. First Nation housing development one step closer to reality | CBC NewsThe Squamish First Nation's Sen̓áḵw housing development took another step forward Wednesday as the City of Vancouver agreed to allow developers access to critical infrastructure, such as sewage and transportation. Nice! Government built squalor already conveniently placed under the bridge near the homeless camps. Sad to see what Vancouver was and what it is becoming. So glad I knew it when. 😂😂 The 'unceded land' law prevents Indigenous people from incorporating traditional wisdom of protecting Nature into their economic development projects. They are forced to follow the non-Indigenous unsustainable capitalist commercial development practices.
