Mayor's office... yet again...

...strangely silent on which gun club these folks belonged to...
A Toronto Police officer was shot in the head last night after a Beer Store robbery in which several people were threatened with a shotgun. The officers first on the scene tried to arrest one of the suspects when there was a confrontation that led to the shooting, police said.

Police nabbed one hiding in the backyard of a Campbell Ave. home but late last night were still searching for the second. Officers found several spent shotgun shells and some that hadn't been fired inside a sock along Rankin Cres.
Of course... it's not really that surprising... this is the reality of what Toronto has become.
The incident capped a week of brazen firearm violence -- including an incident in which two people were shot in a crowded Entertainment District nightclub early yesterday morning.
But hey... the important thing here... mediawise, anyway... is that nobody got tasered.

Funny how that works.

FROM THE COMMENTS:
"Ah yes, let us look at two of the actual charges (one each per perp): 'Possession of a firearm contrary to a prohibition order'."

LAST WORD: A little sociological "paint by numbers"
