Toronto... come for the cuisine... stay for the firefight...
Toronto Police say a gunman opened fire inside Michael’s On Simcoe Restaurant — on Simcoe St., south of Adelaide St. W. — shortly before 9 p.m., killing 54-year-old Simon Giannini and sending patrons running for their lives. As many as 150 people were inside the popular steakhouse when the gunshots rang out.**********
Giannini’s killing also came less than 24 hours after another man was gunned down in Regent Park, bringing the murder tally to 41 for the year. On Saturday around 1:25 a.m., police found two men with bullet wounds in the Gerrard and River Sts. area. Everone Paul Mitchell, 54, of Toronto, died at the scene while the second man, 57, was taken to hospital.
Ten people have been shot — seven of whom died — in the last month. Gang warfare between the Sic Thugs and the Halal Gang has plagued Regent Park and spread to other areas of the city as well.
UPDATE: Let's not make any hasty assumpt...
...wait a minute...
"Two more shots went off and then within a few seconds there was a fairly young black male that ran out of that door from the restaurant."**********
LAST WORD: The usual suspects...
Investigators have identified a suspect wanted in connection with the murder of a 33-year-old Leonard Pinnock who was shot to death in a parked vehicle in Toronto last April.Uh-huh.
Police have not been successful in their attempts to apprehend 24-year-old Akil Whyte, who is one of two suspects wanted in the fatal shooting.
