Gunfire erupts in Canada shopping area
Two suspects arrested after violence leaves one dead, six hurt

TORONTO, Ontario (AP) -- Gunfire erupted on a busy Toronto street filled with holiday shoppers Monday evening, killing a young woman and wounding six other people, police said.

They said two suspects were arrested and at least one gun was seized shortly after the 5:30 p.m. Monday violence near the popular Eaton Center shopping mall, a downtown zone popular with tourists.

Witnesses said they dove for cover or took refuge in shops when they heard gunshots.

"Someone said they were shot, and everyone went to the back of the store," said Magnolia Sandoval, an employee at a camera store.

Police said they were investigating if the violence was gang related. They did not immediately disclose if the two people arrested were suspected of opening fire or how many attackers were involved. It also wasn't clear if the victims had been purposely targeted.

"I can't say which of the individuals have been targeted and which are accidental," Police Staff Sgt. Stan Belza said. "This is an extremely busy shopping day. There were a lot of people out there."

Belza described the slain victim as a young woman, without giving her age. The six wounded were hospitalized, including an off-duty police officer who was hit in the leg.

Emergency vehicles crowded the shopping area, which was cordoned off with yellow police tape.

The Toronto zone was also the site of two other recent shootings. There have been 78 murders in Toronto this year, including a record 52 by gunfire -- twice as many as last year.

"I've seen this city change, and I'm not pleased with it," Belza said. "It seems to be so brazen, so little regard for anyone else's safety."

The rash of recent gun deaths in Toronto prompted Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin to announce earlier this month that his government would ban handguns if he were re-elected in the January 23 elections.

Its Bush's fault.

He signed an EO to modify Cheney's Halliburton Hurricane Machine
to make illegal unregistered handguns to be parachuted down onto
the peaceful Canadian countryside, where the poor innocent Canadians pick
them up and immediately start shooting at the first person they see.

Thats it.
I spilled the beans.
I am marked for secret termination now.

Well, obviously the clear solution is to get rid of all the Canadians. That way the handguns won't make the Canadians pick them up and kill eachother.

Canada blames U.S. for gun violence

"The U.S. is exporting its problem of violence to the streets of Toronto," he said.

Miller said that while almost every other crime in Toronto is down, the supply of guns has increased and half of them come from the United States.

What happened yesterday was appalling. You just don't expect it in a Canadian city," the mayor said.

"It's a sign that the lack of gun laws in the U.S. is allowing guns to flood across the border that are literally being used to kill people in the streets of Toronto," Miller said.

Well, the young lady who was killed was 15, so she was just a kid.

as for them banning handguns, Handguns have been heavily restricted (meaning registered and permits required to do ANYTHING with them since 1934 or so), I somehow doubt making them even harder to get will change anything.

Now that said, My premier (like the governor, he is the highest elected official for my Province) has told them to pound sand and that we (meaning my province) will not endorse, nor follow such a ban. Good to live in the free west (well, freer leastways)

Crap like this happens in the Rwanda of Canada and the rest of us suffer for it.....

Hurry up and annex us dammnit!!!!

Edited to add that though the politicians (IN THE EAST) blame the USA for Firearms coming North, they seem to fail to realize that it is Canada's unarmed border guards who are responsible to stop stuff being smuggled into our country, not the US border guards business to stop stuff being smuggled out of the US. If it were the other way around I woudl ahve US customs questioning me on the way up and Canada on the way down, I cna assure you that as of the last trip I took to the USofA that was not the case.

The eastern politicians have their heads so far up their asses their brains have died from lack of oxygen.

The problem is definitely with something recently imported into canada, all right, but it's not the guns.

Being from the south myself, I don't take being called a "yank" as a bad thing from a Canadian or a Brit. Now being called a "yankee" is another story. Yankee's come from north of the Mason-Dixon line. Yanks (in the proper context) are red blooded, flag waving, ass kicking Americans.

We get the same "Blame America" crap down here too.
Some guy shot and killed an intruder in his home a while ago. He got off on the murder charge (actually, I don't know if he was even charged), but the next day the talking heads were on breakfast television saying what a terrible thing it was that someone was killed, but that they supposed that they could understand why the homeowner did it. One woman actually said that we were becoming like more America every day, and that she wouldn't want to live in a street where people kept guns in their house. Libtard idiot!

On the plus side, the token conservative, a guy by the name of Andrew Bolt, said that in U.S. states that had introduced CCW, violent crime had dropped 30%. There was abit of umming and ahhring, but since he had the last word, no one could come back at that

Strange is it not that Britain and Australia have the same problem and are both anti-gun. Could it just possibly have anything to do with the large increase in third world immigration in all three countries? After all both Britain and Australia are islands and can't really blame the US for their gun crimes.
Recently in Australia there were race riots. Recently in Britain there were bombings on the London underground. The Aussies were fighting Leganese immigrants and the terrorists in London were muslim.
Don't you think the violence in all these places might just have a little to do with open third world immigration? Just maybe?
I lived in Toronto 20 some years ago--before large scale third world immigration alla liberal government; probably wouldn't recognize the place now and don't plan on ever going back for a visit.

Sure, blame the US. That is what Canadian liberals do whenever they have a problem.
It's just too bad Canada is turning into such a mess of a country.
The more restrictive their gun laws, the more crime they will have.
Perhaps they should start looking at their immigration policies instead of at american gun dealers.
