Imagine, as one brain cramp suggested in the EC shooting thread that everyone be allowed to carry guns, how many would have been shot or killed; 2 dead and 19 wounded. Them damn punks are just terrible shots.

Two killed, 19 wounded in block party shooting

Police are trying to sort out the circumstances and identify suspects after two people were killed and 19 others – including a young child – were wounded during an exchange of gunfire at a community barbecue late Monday night.

In the latest example of gun violence in Toronto this summer, the shootout occurred following an altercation that broke out as up to 200 people attended a “get to know your neighbour” block party on Danzig Street, near Morningside Drive and Lawrence Avenue, in Scarborough.

Police have not released the names of two people who were killed – a teenage girl and a man in his 20s – and they have not revealed how many suspects are being sought.

With people being caught in the crossfire, police said there were many innocent victims. At last report, a young child who suffered a gunshot wound was in stable condition in hospital.

A person of interest was wounded in the shooting and is in police custody.

During an early morning news conference, police Chief Bill Blair said there were at least two shooters, who police believe were armed with handguns.

Blair called it the worst case of gun violence the city has ever experienced.

"It is difficult to describe - this is unprecedented," he said. "In my 35 years of policing, this is the worst incident of gun violence anywhere in North America and the worst crime in Toronto's history."

As mostly young people attended the party, a chaotic scene erupted as gunshots rang out at about 10:30 p.m. and people scrambled for their lives.

Partygoers fled in all directions to escape the gunfire – some thought they were hearing the sound of fireworks at first – and people who live in the area opened their doors to wounded victims and other strangers seeking a place of safety.

Melissa, who lives in the area, said she called three girls into her house, including a 14 year old who was shot in the arm.

Melissa said her neighbour took in a girl who suffered four gunshot wounds.

“There were just people shot everywhere,” Melissa said.

A person who was shot in the back staggered to a nearby laundromat.

Three people trampled in bid to escape

Three people were injured when they were trampled in the dash to escape, bringing the total number of injured patients to 22.

As daylight broke Tuesday morning, objects and evidence strewn across a wide area painted a picture of the mad scramble.

The ground was covered in discarded objects, medical supplies – including bloody bandages, latex gloves and packaging – used by paramedics as they treated and assessed victims at the scene, and yellow markers used by forensic investigators as they scoured the scene for evidence.

Given the number of victims and the number of witnesses who were present at the barbecue, officers have a massive investigation in front of them as they attempt to lay criminal charges. Homicide detectives are leading the investigation, but the guns and gangs task force and emergency task force are also involved.

Blair said this area of Scarborough does not typically see this level of violence. People who live in the area said a handful of shootings have occurred in the neighbourhood in recent months.

After Monday’s shooting, several residents who spoke to CP24 called for an end to the violence.

“Basically, it sickens me,” said a man, who declined to provide his name. “It never used to be this way. The new players in the game are playing it wrong. It’s got to stop and unless change is made it’s gonna get worse.”

Gun violence and public safety in Toronto has been under intense scrutiny this summer after deadly shootings in public places, including one in Eaton Centre's crowded food court on a busy Saturday and another on a Little Italy patio.

The incidents have put Toronto police brass and city council members on the hot seat, and they have attempted to ease concerns or fears by telling people the city is still a safe place to live and visit.

In response to Monday’s shooting, Mayor Rob Ford said he is "disgusted" by the violence.

"I am shocked and disgusted by this senseless act of violence," Ford said in a statement. "While we try to understand this tragic event, I want to assure residents that this horrific, criminal behaviour will not be tolerated in our city."

Don't flatter yourself. Regardless of what your parents told you, you're not that special.

Wow, one dumb ass at city hall. You have a unique definition of 'many'.

http://www.reddit.com/r/toronto/comments/wokxt/breaking_news_11_people_shot_at_house/

Random portraits of the situation gleaned from twitter.

Apparently, it was this guy's party, as he says here. He'd been planning this party since July 7th. The pictures indicate that a 'hennesey party' is exactly what it sounds like: a party w/ lots of hennesey liquor provided.

This guy apparently anticipated that problems might happen at the party. This girl, too. This guy too. So this could be the result of a pretty well-known beef.

This person was shot. As was this person. This person was also shot -- twice. This person was also shot, according to this tweet. This may be her in recovery, though I can't be sure. It is, in any case, someone recovering from a gunshot wound.

This woman was shot and apparently killed. Her and her boyfriend were celebrating a 4 month anniversary. I'm confident enough to say that she is the Shyanne who many locals on twitter are talking about, based on comparing pictures from her account to those posted by others. She was apparently well-connected. One tweeter said that "This is Shyanne's people we're talking about. Now it's gonna be war." Here is a memorial collage that is making the rounds. Here is another memorial picture tweeted by someone.

Apparently Shyanne went out in this guy's arms. Apparently the 1 year old who was shot was also that guy's nephew.

This guy says that bullets grazed his head, and that "niggas" weren't even aiming. Implies more than one shooter, I guess.

This guy is implying that there will be more violence in the future. The shooters "touched the wrong people". "This isn't over". More of the same sentiment from this girl. And this woman, who says "there is gonna be war". We should expect an "outrageous reaction", because there will be a "heavy domino effect". As another guy says, "Mandem aren't gonna let this slide easy." ('Mandem' = slang term for a collection of thugs.)

I fear for this community's future.

Apparently the little girl who was shot was a guy named Ledda's daughter. Ledda is apparently someone you don't mess with. Scottie Pimpin also thinks that this situation will be 'big' because of the bloodlines involved.

For an idea of who constitutes one of the victim's crew, see this video. The entire rap is superimposed over a blue bandana, which I can only assume symbolizes a crips chapter. Note the lyrics: "livin a hard life, growin up on my own / no mother no father i gotta do it all alone / but if i got a problem niggas got the 44 / she got a really fat ass with a long nose". This video is frequently tweeted with an accompanying "#GWAY" tag, which must refer to "Galloway". Galloway is the name of a nearby road which hosts a number of public housing projects.

More local music. "got the 44 extra kick / extended ? clip / i suggest you sit / or my dogs'll sick". Later on he says "you know who I rep / earlybirds is the set", where "set" is common terminology for chapter of a gang. Note that the guy whose video I linked above's twitter name was "early3irds", and this guy, who also retweeted the above video, takes the screen name "EARLY!!!". This music video is also by the same crew and also showcases the same neighborhood where this incident went down. Here is another video by the same crew; note the cripwalk at 0:43.

Here is a crappy lo-res photo of the investigation area. Here is a much better hi-res of the investigation area in daylight.

edit note: I'm throwing in more stuff as I find it.

How many were shot that summer and how many have been shot thus far? Not disagreeing just curious and too lazy to google. Yes, I know that's a sad statement to make as information doesn't come much easier than that.

Gotta say what fucking poor judgement to decide that a house full of partygoers is the best place to settle your beef using a gun.

Even if I had a gun I can't think of anyone that I would seriously/actually think about even pointing the gun at much less pull the trigger.
