Toronto Police Det.-Const. Jeffrey Northrup was remembered by 52 Division on Saturday — the first anniversary of his death.
Northrup, 55, and his partner were investigating a stabbing in City Hall’s underground parking lot when it’s alleged the 31-year veteran was intentionally struck by a vehicle driven by Thornhill accountant Umar Zameer.
Very odd goings on.
Twin brothers from Vancouver Island have been named as the suspects who were killed in a police shootout during an attempted armed bank robbery in Saanich,B.C., this week.
On Saturday morning, RCMP released the names of the two suspects: 22-year-olds Mathew and Isaac Auchterlonie of Duncan.
Police said the suspects’ family is cooperating with the investigation.
Crazy.
Three Kentucky police officers and a police canine were killed and at least four other officers were hurt in a shootout at a home of what cops called a “terrorist on a mission.”
Lance Storz, 49, was taken into custody after an almost five hour standoff with officers who had showed up at his door in rural Prestonburg with a warrant for his arrest in a domestic violence incident, according to reports.
Storz, who was armed with a rifle, opened fire and hit two officers in the Thursday evening incident, Kentucky State Police said.
The sound of shackles as Ghislaine Maxwell entered the courtroom will stay with Sarah Ransome for ever. “The shame and guilt you feel after being raped is deafening. I have been shamed for 16 years. So to hear those shackles was basically like me putting my middle finger up to every single one of those people who have ever called me names, who doubted me and made me doubt myself,” she says. “It was a reality check on the severity of what she has actually done, not only to me, but to so many others.”
Adam Westland knows cars and trucks. His friends call him a “petrolhead” — someone who’s obsessed with vehicles.
And so when Julie, his wife, looked out their Toronto window in December and shouted — “Adam, the truck’s gone” — he swung into action. It was a few days before Christmas, and they were about to drive to Prince Edward County to see family.
Using the state-of-the-art tracker he’d installed, Adam precisely located his Ford F-150 Raptor pickup while on the phone to Toronto police. What happened next is becoming a common occurrence in Toronto. The police did not show up.
In a nutshell work on the assumption that your vehicle and its contents are a write-off and hope your insurance company will make it all better.
Nearly half of murders in the U.S. now go unsolved, with the majority going unsolved in the last seven months of 2020, a phenomenon partly caused by anti-police BLM protests.
The shining achievement of Black Lives Matter may ironically be its role in preventing murdered black people from getting justice.
Sonny Barger, the face of the Hells Angels who was instrumental in the outlaw motorcycle club’s rise from a small gang of California outcasts into a countercultural force, has died. He was 83.
Disgraced R&B star R Kelly has been sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for sex trafficking and abusing young girls as the judge told him ‘the public has to be protected.’
Kelly, 55, was convicted on sex trafficking and racketeering charges last September following a nearly six-week trial that amplified accusations that had dogged the singer of the Grammy-winning hit ‘I Believe I Can Fly’ since the early 2000s.
Judge Ann M. Donnelly handed down Kelly’s sentence in Brooklyn Federal Court on Wednesday, despite the defense lawyers’ request for a sentence of 10 years or less. Prosecutors had asked for at least 25 years.
Six police officers are in hospital with gunshot wounds and two suspects have been killed following an attempted bank robbery in Saanich, B.C., on Tuesday.
As of Tuesday afternoon, police continue to ask people in the area of North Dairy Road to Cedar Hill Cross Road, and between Richmond Road to Cedar Hill Road, to shelter in place as heavily armed officers search for a possible third suspect.
Multiple officers from Saanich Police, VicPD, and the Greater Victoria Emergency Response Team (GVERT) responded to the report of armed suspects at a bank in the 3600-block of Shelbourne Street around 11 a.m.
This seems odd for a Canadian bank robbery, shootouts are as rare as dead bank robbers.
So was it drugs that motivated such a suicidal commitment by the robbers or were they following a higher calling and this is linked to the Coastal gas terrorists?
Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to 20 in prison Tuesday for her role in helping powerful pedophile Jeffrey Epstein abuse young girls, capping off a dramatic fall from grace for the British socialite turned-convicted sex-trafficker.
US District Judge Alison Nathan said the sentence of 240 months was “sufficient and no graver than necessary,” for Maxwell, who earlier addressed the court and told her victims, “I am sorry for the pain that you experienced.”
“I hope my conviction and harsh incarceration brings you pleasure,” said Maxwell, wearing blue jail scrubs, her dark brown locks cut in a bob.
Police say two people were killed and three injured in an overnight shooting at a bar in Oshawa, Ont.
Durham Regional Police say the incident happened on Saturday at around 12:45 a.m. at the BLVD restaurant and bar located at 1812 Simcoe Street North.
Officers were dispatched to the area after reports of shots being fired. When they arrived on scene, they identified five victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Biker?
Toronto isn’t yet Chicago, but our city tried its very best to be over the Father’s Day weekend.
“Six shooting incidents that commenced on Friday — 11 persons struck in these incidents … two of them being homicides,” said Toronto Police Supt. Steve Watts.
He then took the time to provide details about the gun violence. It was quite a list.
MEXICO CITY, June 21 (Reuters) – Two Canadian citizens, a man and a woman, have been killed at the beach resort of Playa del Carmen on Mexico’s Caribbean coast, authorities said on Tuesday.
The killings in the state of Quintana Roo follow the fatal shooting in January of two Canadians with criminal records in nearby Cancun.
A senior state official told Reuters the man, whose identity has not been made public, was wanted by Interpol.
Had their throats cut. I wonder what flavour of Canadian they were.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports 32 people were shot, three of them fatally, Friday into Sunday morning across Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s Chicago.
The weekend’s first shooting fatality occurred around 8:30 p.m. Friday, when a 30-year-old man “in the 8400 block of South Bennett Avenue” was shot and killed while on a porch.
