Curiously... once again...
...Mayor's office strangely silent on which gun club shooters belonged to...
Three men were wounded in two separate shootings at opposite ends of the city yesterday. The first incident of gun violence was sparked by a fight that occurred around 2:45 a.m. inside the Tropical Sunset bar at Kennedy Rd. and Progress Ave., according to Toronto Police.*
Meanwhile, gunfire erupted less than two hours later at an Etobicoke gas station, injuring two men.
The victims were sitting in a car at an Esso station on the southeast corner of Dixon Rd. and Islington Ave. when a gunman opened fire on them just after 4:30 a.m., police said. One man was hit in the leg, and the other in the neck and back.

Three men were wounded in two separate shootings at opposite ends of the city yesterday.
The first incident of gun violence was sparked by a fight that occurred around 2:45 a.m. inside the Tropical Sunset bar at Kennedy Rd. and Progress Ave., according to Toronto Police.
A 23-year-old man allegedly left the establishment and once outside approached another man. But as he did, the other man pulled a gun and opened fire, police said.
HIT IN LEG
Several shots were fired and the victim was hit once in the leg, investigators said.
The injured man was taken to hospital and is expected to recover.
Police described the gunman, who's wanted for attempted murder, as a black man of unknown age, about 5-foot-11, with a medium build.
He wore a black hoodie, black pants and a black baseball cap.
Anyone with information is urged to call 41 Division detectives at 416-808-4104.
Meanwhile, gunfire erupted less than two hours later at an Etobicoke gas station, injuring two men.
SITTING IN CAR
The victims were sitting in a car at an Esso station on the southeast corner of Dixon Rd. and Islington Ave. when a gunman opened fire on them just after 4:30 a.m., police said. One man was hit in the leg, and the other in the neck and back.
The pair were rushed to hospital, but police said neither man's injuries are considered life threatening.
It's believed the gunman fled in a vehicle.
Anyone with information is asked to call 23 Division at 416-808-2304.
Witnesses to either shooting can also call Crime Stoppers at 416-222-TIPS.

Last weekend in Chicago, 6 young men died as a result of gun fights and stabbings. The number of wounded was not revealed. Perhaps Toronto and its gangsters have big city envy and want to keep up to the Windy City. Although I don't think Chicago is enjoying a garbage strike at this time. Cheers Fern StAlbert

i think these guys simply adhere to an ingrained culture of immediate, mindless violence. no exceptions are allowed.
there's no thought... just reaction.
just another reason to move out of the big city.
