Bright lights, big city...

...hail of lead...
Gunfire erupted in the early morning hours of a party at a Brampton farmhouse, killing two and injuring several others.

"When we arrived on the scene, we found numerous victims and two people dead," Const. J.P. Valade said today.

Peel had 28 slayings last year, which smashed the region's previous record high of 17 homicides.
Remember when you were a kid... and parties were inevitably punctuated with gunfire?

Yeah... me neither.

UPDATE: Farmhouse shooting victims id'd...
Terrence Elliot Hughes, aka T-bone, 40, and Garth Nicholas Palmer, 29, both of Toronto, became the victims of a fatal shooting that unfolded around 5 a.m. at a century-old brick farmhouse at 8678 Chinguacousy Rd. south of Queen St. W.

RELATED: Brampton... it's a happenin' place
A Brampton couple has been taken into custody and charged in connection with the shooting death of a 25-year-old man outside a Mississauga apartment building.

The next day, Denton McKenzie, 49, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder.

Police say McKenzie is known on the street as "Cash" and uses several other aliases, including Hugh Linton, Hugh Linton Semoy and Fred Cash.

McKenzie's wife, Carolyn Alexander, 38, has been charged with being an accessory after the fact to the murder.
Apparently, it's never too late to acquire a little street-cred.
