Triple shooting in downtown Toronto leaves 1 dead, 2 injured on sidewalk
Toronto police say a 30-year-old man has died and two others have been injured after a triple shooting on a sidewalk in the downtown area early Thursday.
Det. Sgt. Trevor Grieve, from Toronto’s homicide unit, said the shooting happened in front of an establishment near Queen and Portland streets at around 2:30 a.m.
Paramedics told Global News two people were taken to hospital with serious, non-life-threatening injuries and a third was taken in critical condition. One of the victims, a 30-year-old man died in hospital, Grieve said.
The other two injured in the shooting were a 36-year-old woman and a 33-year-old man, he added.
Global's Shallima Maharaj has the details.

How in the world can the cops say there are no safety concerns for those in the area when there are criminals firing off rounds throughout the city. Get real.

I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment and give thanks for the great contributions of the Black community to our society. Their peaceful and generous nature makes them ideal neighbors, lending testimony to their exceptional family values and parenting skills, unrivaled by any other culture. Their commitment to academic excellence enriches our schools and serves as an example to all who hope to achieve prominence as a people. Real estate values are fueled by the mix of African-Americans into an area due to their caring and respectful nature of these communities, an example of all they have achieved through their enthusiasm for self-improvement by hard work and a self-reliant can-do nature. We must not forget their abhorrence for crime in their dedication to observing the law. Without their industrious and creative drive, we would definitely be poorer as a nation.
