TORONTO

Come for the hip-hop... stay for the surgery...
The 21-year-old victim and several friends had just left Polson Pier on Polson St., near Cherry St. and Lake Shore Blvd. E., when shots rang out around 3:40 a.m., Toronto Police said in a news release.

Police found the young man laying on the pavement just up the street from the club, suffering from gunshot wounds to his chest, pelvis area and right wrist.

"The victim's friends and other patrons who had exited the night club at the time of the shooting were uncooperative with police," police said.
Why... that's... that's... shocking.
