It finally happened near me

I have been missing for about two weeks as I was pretty busy. I just recently moved back to Scarborough, (from East York) and only had my Internet setup yesterday evening.

Just after sunset last night, when it actually starts to look dark out, I noticed 4 or 5 police cars race out of 41 division headquarters. Thinking that constant sirens would be a thing I might have to get used to I turned on the TV only to hear of a shooting that just occurred not even a half block away from my building.

“Meanwhile, bullets also flew in the Kennedy Rd. and Eglinton Ave. area, injuring a man estimated to be 19 years old. He was taken to hospital by emergency crews at about midnight with at least two separate gun-inflicted wounds.” - CP24

The road they ‘flew’ on was Ionview and apparently just outside of the 2-4-1 Pizza place. What an event to come ‘home’ to!

    Yeah Sheza, I lived in SKAborough my whole life pretty much while growing up and always laughed at others “fear” of the area. It just was odd to come back to this.
