Another shooting in Toronto…
These murders angered police, who went through great lengths to stress the victims’ innocence. “These two victims are not at all known to the Toronto police or any other police agency in Canada,” Detective Sergeant Gary Giroux told a news conference several hours after the slayings.“And certainly, based on the limited amount of information that I have, they are not, and never have been, living any kind of a high-risk criminal lifestyle whatsoever.”
The shooting is yet another cautionary tale that likely involves handguns and innocent victims.
Very few things are random in life. Not knowing the motive doesn’t mean this was random. From what I can tell from the article, this was a well executed attack on civilians who never had a chance.
Had they been armed, it doesn’t seem that it would have made much of a difference in this case.
Never underestimate the motivated assassin.
The city of Montreal announced a new anti-gang squad recently. Hopefully, the gang problems in Canada will not fuel the anti-gun agendas of politicians (but it will).
