Gunfire on Morningside!

It's smart to get some practice in when the opportunity comes up.

The're lots of these parties before the big celebrations, if you like ebony women or west indian/guyanese women ...these are sometimes the best places to get a hook up and they're not only from Canada,it's a global thing also it's not a black thing there are all races.

Watching Chief Bill Blair speak on CP 24. He asked "the community" to break the "code of silence" and assist the police in apprehending the culprits. Sadly, this is not the first mass shooting nor I fear will it be the last.

P.S. Guys, please note I did not use the "B" word so please don't get on your high horse and start throwing the "R" word around.

Shyanne Charles, 14, was killed by gunfire

A barbecue ended in bloodshed as a reckless exchange of gunfire erupted in an east-end neighbourhood late Monday killing two people including a 14-year-old girl and injuring 23 others, including a toddler.

The mass shooting, the worst in the city’s history, occurred around 10:40 p.m. during a “large” house party and sent a throng of people running for their lives from 193 Danzig St., just south of Lawrence and Morningside Aves.

“I’ve been a cop for 35 years and this is the worst incident of gun violence in my memory anywhere in North America,” Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair said at the scene shortly after the bullets stopped flying.

The city’s top cop was obviously distraught and had difficulty finding the words to describe how he was feeling about the shooting that he called “unprecedented” for Toronto.

“It’s a very shocking event,” Blair said. “A lot of innocent people were injured tonight.”

It’s believed more than 200 partygoers were at the barbecue, described as an annual event by area residents. People were listening to music one second and dodging bullets the next.

Blair said “an altercation broke out among some individuals and there was an exchange of gunfire.”

Shyanne Charles, 14, and a 23-year-old man were killed.

Blair said 23 others were wounded by gunfire in the shooting. Three were hurt in the stampede as the crowd fled.

A 22-month-old child was among those struck by bullets, but the chief said the child’s injuries are not life-threatening.

“This is the most serious crime of its kind that has ever taken place in the City of Toronto,” an emotional Blair said. “I think every citizen in Toronto will be a little shaken up by what has transpired here in Scarborough tonight.

“It’s a shocking incident,” he said, adding he expects people across the country will be stunned.

At a news conference at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Blair said police believe two people fired shots and there was a "strong indication" of gang involvement in the incident.

The aftermath of the terrifying shooting was chaotic.

A total of 16 ambulances, some from the surrounding regions, and the Toronto EMS bus responded to the scene and rounded up victims, some of whom fled the immediate area.

Paramedics assessed patients and whisked them away to Sunnybrook, St. Mike’s and Scarborough hospitals as neighbourhood residents — most of whom were unwilling to talk about the deadly gun violence — frantically tried to locate loved ones.

“This is unique,” Toronto EMS Deputy Chief Garrie Wright said of mayhem medics faced. “But our paramedics are highly trained. They train for incidents just like this.”

Cops from across the city responded to the shooting.

Homicide detectives, officers from the Gun and Gang Unit, Intelligence Unit, ETF and 43 Division all spent the night at the scene gathering evidence and interviewing to witnesses.

“A lot of people fled the scene, but a lot of them have come back and are talking to us,” Blair said, adding investigators have some “good leads” and have already made “significant progress.”

One man, who was among the wounded, was taken into custody and Blair said he is “a person of interest.”

A handgun was found at the scene but the chief said more than one firearm was involved.

“This is a very serious crime and it demands our full effort to bring the persons responsible for this to justice,” he said.

Blair offered his “most sincere condolences and support” to the families of those who were killed and injured in the “senseless violence.”

“This is a tremendously frightening and tragic event for all involved,” he said

In fairness my parents used to take me to parties while nothing wild like this ...... the kids would all be sent outside or to the basement to entertain themselves. So not really that weird for kids to be at a party that late at night.

Hey Slinger, at this party there was liquor served and lots of it!!

 

[Plan B]

Any minute now Frank Castle should be pulling out new stats to prove that angelic black people are not dangerous...and if I point out that I'm tired of these apes ruining the fabric of our city, then I'm branded a racist on Terb(sigh)

Yup, I hear you that is why I specifically mentioned there is no liquor at our street party. Different community, different standards. Our parties are really tame.

Nah. Besides my stats are to prove that they are NOT AS DANGEROUS as people think. I think the common perception is that prisons are overrun with blacks and the blacks are causinga crime wave acroos the country. The reality is that it is restrcited to a a few urban centres. Unfortunately, one of those centres is Toronto and as people who live n the GTA it seems worse to us because it is in our face.

As for ruining the fabric you should be happy they are killing themselves.

 

[frankcastle]

BTW I'm not suggesting that you should hang out on the dark side streets of jane and finch with money falling out of your pockets. But most of the terbites who are concerned about "them" probably don't even spend time in places that would put them at risk. The Eaton's Centre was a fluke and most shootings are concentrated in places most of us probably never go.

Gee, I wonder why

Only a monster would be happy that a 14 year old girl is dead...as far as the gang bangers and their entourages, ....fuck em!

The guy (Gene Jones) from Detroit said that even he is shocked and he is from Detroit (murder city).

And I don't bother with stats for statements like yours because it is clearly formed as an opinion. You can feel tired and I can't dispute that. But I will say it's a racist opinion. If you're going to think and talk like that you shouldn't be surprised if people call you racist. Sorry.

For those interested, the Scotiabank Caribbean Carnival (formerly Caribana) kicks off to-day at Nathan Philips Square.

Perfect timing....LOL.

I'm getting the fuck out of Dodge this weekend. I'm not sticking around for all the mayhem

Summer of the gun 1.0 was in 2005, it had 144 shootings with 52 people dead. It also includes victims who were shot after the summer that same year.

TPS

Total number of shooting victims in Toronto http://www.torontopolice.on.ca/statistics/ytd_stats.php

2009 - 174
2010 - 155
2011 - 124
2012 - 177

Note: There's still 167 days left in 2012!

To say there isn't a problem is simply being naive.

The reason the murder rate isn't higher this year comes down to luck and the fact that EMS is getting better at saving lives.

 

[blackrock13]

Don't worry folks - Mayor McCheese says the city is safe.

As compared to Chicago, Winnipeg, Edmonton, he's right. What your point?

Was a block party. People who attended the party are saying they were handing out gifts to the kids, etc. Was no warning, no fights. Children being there in the evening does not seem unreasonable.
