Hardey said people seemed to be in a foul mood, possibly because the fireworks started 30 minutes late, and decided not to take any chances and went home.

"When you get that many people together, something is bound to happen."

Yeah, sure... that makes sense.

Rememember back, you were a kid... and extra waiting around meant somebody was gonna take a bullet?

That's weird... me neither.

UPDATE2: More GTA mayhem

A Mississauga teenager was fatally shot in a Malton community centre near 30 other people, according to Peel Regional Police.

"Then the three suspects walked away," said Const. J.P. Valade. Peel's fourth murder victim of the year was identified by police as Adrian Ducas, 17.

The victim was shot during a break in one of two community basketball games Saturday evening at the Malton Community Centre.

So much for Dalton McGuinty's "more basketball courts" strategy.

LAST WORD: The hits just keep coming

In another incident several hours later, one man was shot 11 times and miraculously survived. The victim is currently listed in critical condition. The shooting occurred just before 3 a.m. outside a club near the Wilson and Highway 400 area. Officers are searching for a suspect.

Two hours later, more gunshots rang out. Police say that the shots were fired in the Jane and Church area.

In yet another incident, two people were hurt by gunfire near Dundas East and River Street. The shooting occurred at a birthday party around 1:30 a.m. when a man walked into a home wearing black and hiding his face behind a mask.

Good grief.
