The Toronto Star is reporting that "It was supposed to be a routine bail check, police say. Instead, plainclothes officers outside a Toronto recording studio Monday night found themselves in the middle of a gunfight — an exchange of as many as 100 shots — between two rival groups.
The barrage of gunfire in the West Queen West neighbourhood created a scene of chaos, forcing a worker from a local grocery store to run for cover while both the store and an unmarked police vehicle were riddled with bullet holes. Remarkably, no one was hurt."
"Toronto police say they seized more than 16 firearms, including several handguns and two assault-style rifles, and arrested 23 people at the scene. There were no immediate details on charges or the suspects’ names.
The gunfire broke out around 11:20 p.m. Monday in the area of Queen Street West and Sudbury Street, just east of Dufferin Street.
Pogue said plainclothes officers were already stationed there for an unrelated investigation when three suspects in a stolen car arrived, exited the vehicle and opened fire at a recording studio on the second floor of a building, where a crowd of people were gathered outside."
"The shooting quickly escalated into an exchange of gunfire between two groups. As the shooters on both sides tried to flee, police boxed in the stolen vehicle. Officers arrested one of the occupants after a foot chase, but two others managed to escape and remain at large.
Pogue said police arrested several more people inside the studio and others trying to flee. She said officers recovered additional firearms from inside the building, the rooftop and garbage bins in the area."
"The building where the shooting happened houses at least three recording studios: CASA Studios, 777 Studios and Diesel Headquarters. Police have not said which one was the target of the shooting. " Recording studios. Imagine that.
More Canadain rappers capping each other. Yet another example how useless Justin Trudeau's handgun freeze was. Criminals don't obey rules.
It was 777 for sure. Read the reviews of them letting people with guns in.
ReplyDeleteYeah I saw the video of everyone dancing showing off their guns. I don't want to hate but that is just ridiculous. What good do you think is going to come from that? Shooting people over stupid beefs demonstrates the devolution of society. We're just not making progress. That is something we need to separate ourselves from.
DeleteIt's a defiant disregard for the sanctity of life. Not only are they mocking the value and worth of the lives of others but they are also mocking the value and worth of their own life. They have no self respect. They'll wiling to throw their entire life away for a cheap headline because they think it will make them look cool. Well it doesn't. It just makes you look like a fool. A fool and his money is soon parted. Likewise a fool and his misguided life are soon parted.
DeleteI don't know, I'm an old guy and am still getting used to the idea of there being Canadian rappers. I guess they aspire to be like American rappers. I'm not a fan of rap, so it won't affect my life if there are fewer of them. Plus this stuff all seems to be out in TO.
Delete16 firearms huh. Wow. These folks obviously roll strapped up all the time. People like that on the street with a gun, someone's getting shot eventually. Each other, robbery, stray round, whatever. We need CCC. "Concealed Carry Canada". Trump has already announced that there will be Federal Concealed Carry down south, as opposed to some states yes, some states and cities no. "Nationwide". I've never bought the idea that we are somehow less capable than they are, yet many of us seem perfectly happy to have such an idea. I get that many will disagree, vehemently. After all "we don't want to be like those Americans". Well we must be the only ones, because everyone else in the world sure seems to want that, they're trying pretty hard to get there. I don't question their right to decline to equip themselves for the protection of self and others, I just never understood what they think gives them the right to decide that for others.
DeleteI enjoy some rap. It just gets old when it's all about booty in the club and stupid beefs. The young kids miss the point of life and obsess over materialism. At some point we're supposed to grow up. As for conceal carry in Canada, I don't see that happening in our life time.
DeleteNo, I don't either, we have no tradition of self-defense, but if I recall correctly we do actually have a few such licenses issued out to some jewelers, remote miners and such but few and far between. We could always ask the RCMP for the exact numbers......
DeleteYes I have heard of some permits in Canada. My range buddy has something but that's because he's an armed guard and teaches at the JI.
DeleteNGL Dennis Watson, sometimes I get really irritated with the stuff you say, but you can be spot on sometimes. I agree with you one hundred percent about the need to respect the sanctity of life, and am always disgusted when I see people failing to do so. I just wish people could learn for themselves to be less selfish and less hateful.
DeleteGun crime in toronto is so out of control in the lower mainland it will never get get this bad i mean we have shooting here but no way as bad as toronto at the same time tdot has double the poplaution we do.
ReplyDeleteYou also said the cartels were why Chad Wilson got whacked, so that contradicts your current narrative of no cartels being in Canada as a serious force.
ReplyDeleteF*ck off Blaze, you're such a lying POS. I never said that. Ever. You are lying again. Oh right, you never stopped lying and falsely accusing others of lying when you're the the one who's lying and is getting paid by the Teletubbies to lie about gang sh*t. You're such a useless idiot. I never said Chad was killed by the Cartel. That is ridiculous. The club killed Chad. At first I thought it was a rival then I found out it wasn't. The club did him but I never claimed the cartel did. I guess this cartel lie is tied to your PoPo paycheque.
DeleteYou said the cartel got the club to kill Chad because of the messed up shipment and to tie up loose ends after he got rid of the two sailors. You're nitpicking over the cartel not directly killing him because yes it was the club but who forced their hand to do so? Their connection of course. I'm not blaze for Christ sakes.
ReplyDeleteF*ck off with your lies. You are Blaze. Your spam all has the same syntax as you would say. Your keep coming back with the same stupid comments only Blaze would say. I never said that about Chad. Your heroes over at Post Media News said that so go f*ck yourself you worthless POS.
DeleteHe thinks anyone who disagrees with him is Blaze.
DeleteHe is totally unstable
Of course I am but Petey is an old account that Blaze has used for years. It's hard to forget that when you spam me with sh*t every day for 10 years. Just like how you started off posting under the name Kayla on a post about Blaze:

I don't think everyone is Blaze but I think all these fake troll accounts are the same. And just for the record, Blaze did not serve his sentence and I never said the cartel killed Chad. That is a lie. Just say'n.
What's up with the cartel arrest in Surrey?
ReplyDeleteIt's bullsh*t. My track record speaks for itself:
Deletehttps://gangstersout.blogspot.com/2024/11/gangster-ism-s-track-record-compared.html
100 shots fired and not a single one landed. Bozo to the MAX.
ReplyDelete16 firearms 100 shots. There was more than one shooter. They were shooting up at and out from a second story window in front of a crowd. This was a publicity stunt to sell records.
