Journalists...

...our moral and intellectual superiors...
A Toronto man has been slapped with gun and drug charges, including attempted murder, after a shooting in the city's north end, police said this morning.

Emergency crews responding to a call for a shooting at 11 Shoreham Court, near Jane St. and Steeles Ave. W., found a 20-year-old man shot in the left leg at 5 p.m. Sunday, Toronto Police said.

Kalvin Small, 28,
was arrested on charges of attempted murder while using a firearm and six other gun charges.
Geez... why does that name sound so familiar?
-- TORONTO -- Multiple charges including attempted murder have been laid against the older brother of Jordan Manners, the 15-year-old Toronto high school student shot to death at C.W. Jefferys Collegiate almost two years ago.
Hoo-boy... it's a Small, Small world.
Necole Small, 25, is one of 21 women arrested and faces a charge of possession of a prohibited firearm with ammunition.
I guess some folks are just really unlucky, huh?
Shaking slightly as she talked, Small said she could feel the neighbourhood talking about the shooting and was concerned that police issued warrants for two men when only one of them shot at her.
Thank goodness for those strong family values.
-- BRAMPTON -- A parolee released in June and described by police sources as a cousin of shooting victim Jordan Manners was yesterday charged in the gun murder of an East York man as a birthday party ended.

RELATED: Apparently the case was re-asssigned...

...to Detective Dora the Explorer...
A detective working on the Kalvin Small case called the arrest "a sad thing for the family."

"It's an unfortunate event and I'm hoping that the family can cope with the news, in light of everything that's happened to them."
Not word one about the guy who got shot... or his family.

Funny how that works.
