Toronto City under Fire
Now today, October 7 2014 Students will have learned that their school has lost one. How does a school of youths face the day with such a heavy spirit and a saddened heart ?
Toronto Catholic District School Board trustee Maria Rizzo has identified the 15-year-old victim as a student at James Cardinal McGuigan Catholic High School. Keele and finch His name has not been released.
What happened to looking forward to lunch time, it used to be the ideal time to have fun with your friends,eat plaza food and talk about the first part of your day now sounds like this :
Two young people are dead following a “targeted” double shooting in Etobicoke Monday that resulted in the lockdown of one high school and the securing of three others.
Toronto Police were called around 12:30 p.m. to a green space behind a social housing complex on Islington Ave., near Dixon Rd., and found two males in their teens suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
One was pronounced dead at the scene, while the other died hours later in hospital.
Don Bosco Catholic Secondary School, which is located across the street from the apartment complex, was placed in a hold and secure situation by police for almost two hours, while the Toronto District School Board’s School of Experiential Education, which backs onto the shooting scene, was placed in full lockdown mode.
23 Division Police say they are interviewing several witnesses after they received a 911 call at around 12:30 p.m. for a shooting at the rear of 2063 Islington Avenue.
Yesterday I thought to myself what a heart felt day for a Parent, that call that your child has been the next victim to gun violence. I pray for them all.
But to be frank, today will really be the day of challenge so many question and little answers for the parents of the 3 youths found dead on October 6 2014. I am a Mother of a 15 year old Son and I am a Etobicoke resident.
These two murders happened 3minutes away from my residence. The Saddest part, was yesterday when my Son came home from school our conversation normally would be about school but the first thing out of his mouth was "Mom did you hear about the shootings"? He says "Mom they are my age"; It's sick, sad and puzzling because last week I was listening to counselors and trustees taking about their aim to increase school programs and job search programs for Etobicoke Youths.
This incidence has spread across the city's wards 7 and 2 and now we're searching for grief counselors and funeral parlors when will this end #stopviolencenow
Do remember that

This is so frightening and disappointing. Vote for the politicians who believe in grassroots oppurtunity and development.
