UPDATE: And the hits just keep on coming

One man has been taken to hospital with serious injuries following a shooting in the city's Silverthorne neighbourhood this afternoon, Toronto Paramedics confirm. It happened near Black Creek Drive and Eglinton Avenue at around 1:15 p.m.

According to police, the victim walked into 12 Division with his injuries.

And...

One 18-year-old man is dead and another has been charged with second-degree murder following a stabbing in the city’s west end early Friday morning. Andrew Gomes is charged with second-degree murder.

The fatal stabbing was one of several violent incidents reported in the city overnight. A 15-year-old male was stabbed at Warden subway station just before 2 a.m. He is in hospital fighting for his life.

Police were also called to a lounge on Danforth Avenue, near Coxwell Avenue, at around 1:45 a.m. after a woman was stabbed in the back.

Back to the bad old days...

“I think the initiative being shown by these students is commendable.”

Dear Ms. Hyphenated-Surname... if the university is funding this event, how exactly is it "completely student driven?"

On Saturday BBC World tweeted the headline, “Three Palestinians killed after deadly stabbing in Jerusalem” with a link to an article about the attack. The three Palestinian terrorists, who were targeting Israelis in two different areas, were shot dead after they attempted to murder Israeli policemen and had already killed Staff Sgt. Maj. Hadas Malka.

After Israel’s foreign ministry criticised the the headline, the BBC changed it to: "Israeli policewoman stabbed to death in Jerusalem."

Just another story you won't see on CBC.

“TransAlta is very interested in repowering this site. Unfortunately, right now, it’s not economically feasible,” Wayne Oliver, operations supervisor for TransAlta’s wind operations in Pincher Creek and Fort Macleod, said in an interview. "We’re anxiously waiting to see what incentives might come from our new government. Alberta is an open market and the wholesale price when it’s windy is quite low, so there’s just not the return on investment in today’s situation. So, if there is an incentive, we’d jump all over that.”

I’ll bet they would. Does anyone need any more proof that wind power just isn’t economically feasible on large scales without subsidies?

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Baltimore sees multiple deadly shootings in just a matter of hours. It was a burst of violence that forced the commissioner to make a drastic move today. All uniformed officers will be on mandatory 12-hour shifts, as the city hustles to control the crime.

The violence in Baltimore started Monday evening and lasted through the night. It spilled over into the middle of Tuesday and by the end of it all, at least 12 people had been shot and at least six dead.

The victims include a 28-year-old man killed during a drug dispute on Bentalou Street, a 37-year-old woman killed in a bullying incident on Gertrude street and a man and woman– both in their twenties, killed during a quadruple shooting on Bonaparte Ave.

If the police do show up and risk their lives to intervene... they are publicly vilified. Where's the incentive to do anything here?

Doyle said he fired two shots at Loku when the man started walking towards him and his partner with the hammer raised.

Earlier Wednesday, the inquest heard a 911 call from a woman who said Loku had threatened to kill her friend.

Whatever devils were running around in this guy's brain box, thank goodness it wasn't some innocent unarmed bystander that had to deal with the consequences.
