RELATED: Or... like cars cause accidents
One man is dead and five people are under arrest after a shooting on Vaughan Rd. last night.

Toronto Police were called to the Glenora Ave. area, just east of Oakwood Ave., around 8:30 p.m. after residents reported hearing multiple gunshots fired.

Robert Flagiello, 18, was transported from the shooting scene to Sunnybrook hospital with a wound to the abdomen, police said. He was later pronounced dead at hospital.
No word yet from Mayor Miller's office... on which gun club the shooters belonged to.
