Have Gun... Will Travel

-- OTTAWA -- A teen was shot to death in his west-side home early Monday morning in one of three home invasions to take place overnight. A total of six people are in custody and police were searching for three others.

Paramedics said a 19-year-old man, identified by friends and family as Michael Swan, who lived in Barrhaven until a short time ago, suffered several gunshot wounds in the spacious, two-storey brick home at 4139 Moodie Dr., south of Barnsdale Road, at about 1 a.m.

Police arrested three males from Toronto in connection with the shooting and said charges were pending.
A travelling hit squad... I guess it ain't just Dubai, huh?

Deep bench... lots of hustle...
A man was rushed to a Toronto trauma centre after shots rang out at a Scarborough highrise Monday afternoon. But after undergoing life-saving surgery, the shooting victim is expected to pull through.

Toronto Police say they were called to 750 Morningside Ave., an apartment building just north of Ellesmere Rd., around 4:15 p.m.
Don't miss the bit about their "quiet neighbourhood".

LAST WORD: Toronto... sharing the wealth
Autopsies conducted on the bodies of Saed, 22, and Idiris Abess, 23, confirmed their deaths as homicides.

"It doesn't come as a big surprise," said Det. Sgt. Gary Giroux, a Toronto homicide investigator who helped arrest Adad.

"This was an individual who led an extremely high-risk lifestyle."
