Come for the atmosphere...

Police are searching for suspects after a man was shot and killed at around 11:30 p.m. near Yorkville Avenue and Bay Street Monday night.

UPDATE: Dead man is 37-year-old Matthew Staikos
“What we’ve seen since 2014 is a 145 per cent increase in shooting victims, 11 per cent increase over last year… Last year we had a record of almost 600 shooting victims in the city,” McCormack told CP24.
But, wait... there's more...
Toronto police say one male has suffered serious injuries after a shooting near Yorkdale Shopping Centre on Ranee Avenue just east of Dufferin Street, around 11:30 p.m. Monday night.
What's that... five homicides in the last ten days?

I suppose it could be worse...
"This violence is occurring in a city where gun control has been the go-to solution for crime for decades. The city banned handgun ownership in 1982, only to see the murder rate skyrocket."
