...on which gun club shooter belonged to...
A man in his fifties has died after being transported to hospital following a shooting near Midland and Lawrence Avenues on Tuesday afternoon.

Police say they were called just after 1 p.m. and found the man with a gunshot wound to the shoulder at Indoor Auto Wash and Detailing Centre.
Maybe there just wasn't enough healing on the weekend.

UPDATE: Shooting victim identified
A Scarborough car wash owner died Tuesday about two hours after being gunned down in his renovated, shrub-lined building. Identified as Emad Rozik by patrons and staff at an adjacent coffee shop which the owner said he visited daily, the victim was shot around 1 p.m.

“He was a very nice guy,” customer Gary Breckon, said after stopping en route home following news reports of the murder. Breckon, 55, said Emad Rozik “worked 15, 16 hours a day.”
