3 Dead, 1 Injured In Mass Shooting in Toronto Canada

TORONTO — Three people were killed in what Canadian police on Thursday called a homicide that may have involved a crossbow.

Officers arrived at a home in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough and found two people without vital signs. A third person was found with significant injuries and taken to a hospital.

Police said all three people — two men and a woman — were later pronounced dead.

A fourth person, a 35-year-old man, was also injured.

Constable David Hopkinson said all three victims had what appeared to be crossbow wounds and a crossbow was found on the floor nearby. Constable Jennifer Sidhu says there were other "things" found in the area that could have been used in the incident. She declined to elaborate.

Police said a suspect is in custody but that it's very early in the investigation.

Opinion:

Hopefully, Canada will finally take the steps necessary to impose common sense Crossbow reform and remove these dangerous weapons from the hands of citizens that serve no legitimate purpose. After all, if even ONE life is saved by these measures, then it's worth it.

.....

In all seriousness, this sucks. I literally had to do a double take at reading the headline when I first came across it, as I couldn't comprehend for a moment what had actually happened. It sounds like a suspect is already in custody thankfully, and I for one look forward to hopefully swift justice being served in this case. Hopefully justice that ends with a short drop and a sudden stop for the guilty party responsible for this heinous act.

So NSG, what are you're thoughts on this unusual crime?

That's very unsettling. I'm not used to hearing about these sort of things happening in Canada. My condolences to victims and families. Im just glad the deaths didn't reach the double digits like many shootings involving guns so often do.

[The Forsworn Knights]

I am just scared by the fact that as an American I dont see three people killed and one more injured as a mass shooting.

I know, right? Mass Shooting are just too bad in America.

[The Black Forrest]

We should sue them. Mass shootings are an American tradition!

Wonder what the body count would be if it had been semi-auto weaponry is like allowed in the U.S.?

You can get certain semi auto guns for cheaper in Canada than the US.

A crossbow?

They're effective enough to be banned from the Crusades.

You can get guns in other countries y'know.
I mean, yes, we have more guns than we have people (And yes, we do have one of the largest national populations on earth)- but we have our constitutional freedom to be idjits and burn the constitution whilst shooting each other!

Heresy.

But yeah, definitely going to wait for more information on this.

Hint for the future: If you want to show that you're taking a murder seriously, don't start off with a fucking joke, much less a old and tired one. As it is, you look mostly like you're posting this in order to poke a finger in the eye of the gun control crowd, and don't give a shit about actual lives lost.

[The balkens]

Clearly we need to ban assault crossbows.

Thanks mom, i'll be sure to remember that bit of every so helpful advice.

Oh dear god, its just a joke. If people can make a joke about banning more guns in the event of an ACTUAL mass shooting, i think we can joke about banning ab obsolete weapon.

[Imperializt Russia]

I am just scared by the fact that as an American I dont see three people killed and one more injured as a mass shooting.

A "mass shooting" is usually defined as four or more victims, occasionally four or more killed, but more usually four victims.

I agree that some mass shootings of "about" four people probably shouldn't have that label (a massacre of a family, for example) and that some multiple shootings of three or less probably do deserve the term (ie, a failed mass shooting attempt), but then when I hear "mass shooting", I think of "rampage killer" (though rampage shooters, supposedly, have to strike multiple areas, which I feel is needless - this is already covered by "spree killer", I would argue, just over a very short time).

A mass shooting, to me, is an attack on a public place for any reason, unless an organised act of terrorism.
Organised is not the same as prepared. Orchestrated?

And you find nothing wrong with that whatsoever is telling.

One of the saddest things is that a tragedy happens in Canada and people immediately jump on their agendas for America.

It was with a crossbow.

They had no problem back in ancient and medeival times. What, you think the survivors would heroically tackle the shooter while he's trying to reload? Remember how that turned out in Arizona.

Heaven forbid! Think of the children!

Seriously Yum, unclench please and do us all a favor already, k? Thanks.

Sadly, this isn't a new thing on NS, or really anywhere else for that matter. Best one can do is offer prayers for the affected and hope for a better tomorrow.

Well thinking of the chuldren has gotten some things accomplished regardless of the consequences.

It's also telling that deaths by firearms is something you consider to be a topic for jokes.

Fire three shots.
