A man, who is believed to be 28 years old, was found at Bergamot Avenue, located near Rexdale Boulevard and Islington Avenue, suffering from a single gunshot wound. He was taken to a trauma centre via emergency run but later died.It appears as though this may be the work of Toronto's infamous "cloak of invisibility" killers...
Det. Leslie Dunkley said police are unable to provide detailed suspect descriptions at this time. “The only description that we have at this point in regards to the suspects is two males wearing hoodies.”**********
UPDATE: Homicide #8

RELATED: Guns are not the issue...
...the real problem is criminal knuckleheads...
Despite massive gun restrictions rolling out across the country, for the past two years, the number of concealed carry permit holders has continued to soar. A study conducted at the end of last year showed that the number of Americans licensed to carry a concealed weapon is now over 17 million — a whopping 273 percent increase since 2007.**********
If we were to believe the rhetoric that more people carrying guns would lead to more crime, there would be a correlation showing an increase in crime among concealed carry holders.
However, a study conducted by the Crime Prevention and Research Center, which examined these numbers, found the opposite.
What’s more, not only are concealed carry permits not committing the crimes the anti-gun crowd would like us to believe, but the study found cops are far more likely to commit crimes than permit holders.
LAST WORD: Let's drill down a little...
Of Canada's two million "licensed" gun owners... 0.00555% used their firearm to murder someone.Not to put too fine a point on it, but... Michael Bryant's car has killed more people than my firearms.
On the other hand, in 2005, 64% of accused murderers had a prior criminal record, including 6% for homicide.
