Bullets fly, yet again, in Toronto

...must be Tuesday...
Two men are in hospital after separate shootings in North York within the span of an hour. Around 5:30 p.m., a passerby came across a young man lying on the ground bleeding on Toryork Dr., an industrial road in the area of Weston Rd. and Finch Ave. W.

Another shooting occurred about 40 minutes later outside a high-rise complex on Sheppard Ave. W. near Jane St. A man, believed to be in his 20s, was walking from his car to an apartment building when he was shot in the leg, said Staff Sgt. Mike Stones.

Officers responded to a third shooting nearby on Chalkfarm Dr., in the Jane St. and Wilson Ave. area, around 8:40 p.m. But when they arrived, there was no victim.

Several bullet casings were recovered near the lobby of an apartment building.

LAST WORD: Same old, same old
A man wanted for a 1991 shooting death of a Scarborough businessman has been returned to Toronto after being arrested in Jamaica.

Horace Tazman Headley, 40, is charged with first-degree murder of Stanley Shearer, who was gunned down 18 years ago in his music production office near Midland and Sheppard Aves.
