Three people are dead and one person has been injured after someone discharged a crossbow in the Scarborough Village area.So, Constable Clouseau, what's your theory... an accidental discharge, followed by two identical mishaps? Or, maybe he loaded three arrow-thingies by mistake.
Const. David Hopkinson said it is too early to say whether the shooting was intentional or accidental.
And, no... that's not my "minkie."

UPDATE: Let the Media Frightening begin...
Although you stand a better chance of falling in the shower and breaking your neck, we, the "professional" journalists of Toronto, will do our best to convince you this is a "clear and present danger"...
The deadly weapons, though uncommon in homicide investigations, are surprisingly easy to get your hands on. A licence isn’t required to buy or own a crossbow and the hunting weapons are not regulated. Anyone over the age of 18 can walk into a sporting goods store and walk out with a weapon capable of firing a small arrow or ‘bolt’ up to 500 feet per second.Or, if you're in a real hurry, you can go into your kitchen and grab a knife from the cutlery drawer.
