The Hamilton Spectator is reporting that "Police are investigating another shooting in the core this weekend — the second shooting in as many days linked to two separate downtown Hamilton businesses. In this incident a man was found with gunshot injuries inside a club on Bowen Street, a short strip that links Main and Jackson streets, between Catharine and John streets. The club was hosting a weekly ticketed event called Sinful Saturdays with a $20 entry fee."
"Officers were sent to Club 33 at 33 Bowen St. for a possible shooting, at 2:30 a.m. Sunday, they said in a media release. At the scene, police located an injured man inside the club. He was taken to hospital to be treated for his injuries. Police say the shooting is believed to be targeted and there is no risk to the public." Inside the club? Aren't they supposed to have metal detectors?
It's kind of hard to feature how someone opening fire in a club and "no risk to the public" go together.
ReplyDeleteLOL Good point. I think they mean there is no longer a risk to the public in that it was targeted it wasn't random. Unless of course they decide to execute another targeted attack inside a crowded night club. I guess that would pose a risk to the public.
DeleteThat is interesting, the news is reporting there has been a second shooting in Hamilton, so they've had two shootings within 24 hrs. Is there perhaps a disagreement regarding market share or the division of districts.
ReplyDeleteThe use of the phrase, targeted shootings indicates this may well be gang related.
As to the use of the guns in a crowded night club is dangerous because a lot of these people aren't world's greatest shots, so they fire and hit the wrong person.
e.a.f.
i live in Toronto and only know one club with metal detectors. I was in a club last weekend and got a waist pat down and i was surprised.
ReplyDeleteWow. I remember one in Vancouver did. I thought they all did.
