-- Toronto -- A wild shootout on the streets of Kensington Market early yesterday sprayed bullets down a residential street, tore holes through several cars and left a teenager near death.Gee Sarge... ya really think so?
"It's possible there was some kind of a gun battle that had taken place," Toronto Police Staff-Sgt. Tom Sharkey said.
You've only got, what... handfuls of brass bullet casings and a kid with a sucking-chest wound... you sure you don't wanna wait for the forensics?
People who live in the area were quick to react...
"Not cool," said one area resident, who had strolled through the area just minutes before the gunfire broke out.I guess firefights and dead bodies are the new normal in Toronto.

-- Vancouver -- A 13-year-old boy is dead and a 14-year-old boy has been arrested for manslaughter after a late-afternoon brawl in an open lot at a busy intersection just outside downtown Vancouver.Hmmm... never had this sort of stuff going on when I was a kid in Scarborough and Don Mills.
The brawl late Saturday afternoon involved several teenagers of Asian descent from several schools in Vancouver and one in Surrey.
What could possibly have changed since then?
