C'mon, folks... safest city in the world... the Police Chief said so...A 42-year-old man is dead following a shooting near a soccer field in Toronto late Tuesday.**********
Police responded to a call about gunshots in the parking lot of the Jane-Eglinton area field at 9:40 p.m. They found a man suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The victim has been identified as Clayton Wright, of Mississauga. He is Toronto's 29th murder victim of the year.

Lousy shooters, great paramedics... don't mean you're safer...
However much crime in general may have dipped, shootings have not.**********
So far this year, the number of occurrences is up by 33 per cent compared to the same date in 2011; the number of people killed or injured has risen by 42 per cent; and – perhaps most striking – the number of reported instances in which guns were fired without anyone being hit has increased by 67 per cent.
