Latest Toronto homicide...

...gets "curiouser and curiouser"...
A 17-year-old who was shot dead Friday night in a west-end park had been carrying a Taser stun gun, police said today.

Detectives discovered the electro-shock weapon at the scene and believe that it belonged to Boris Cikovic, who died early Saturday from a bullet to the abdomen.
Police also seem to be operating on the theory that the alleged gunmen have room-temperature IQs.
Police are searching for three suspects, all described as black males, who may have had legitimate reason to protect themselves, Homicide Det. Srgt. Steve Ryan said.

"If what I'm being told is accurate, they may have been acting in self-defense," he said. "The three suspects are in the best position."

"They should call us."
Ah yes... the Inspector Clouseau school of police work.
