Five people, including three children, have been injured in a shooting in Etobicoke, Toronto paramedics say.
Emergency crews were called to the area of Tandridge Crescent and Byng Avenue, west of Albion Avenue, just before 8 p.m. Saturday for reports of shots fired.
That area is social housing so no doubt legal gun owners are responsible.
A Channel 4 News investigation has found more than half a dozen claims that young women and girls are alleged to have been targeted, trafficked, groomed, or abused in the UK by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, over a period spanning more than a decade.
Some of those victims have provided detailed accounts of their experiences. The evidence comes from a combination of publicly available documentation (including court papers), witness accounts, and interviews. The alleged offences detailed in the accounts include serious sexual assault and rape.
The best policy to prevent a vicious circle of gang vendettas is to empower law enforcement to send violent criminals to jail.
Murders and non-fatal shootings have been soaring in cities across the United States. One reason is a phenomenon that police refer to as “ping pong murders”—a cycle of retaliatory violence that can spiral out of control. Before that happens, public officials must take quick and decisive action to cut the cycle off.
Documents reveal feds raided Maple Leaf Foods and raise questions about co-ordinated meat pricing and involvement of BC chains in bread price setting.
Honey Sherman had no will. Barry had two. Most of the slain billionaire’s estate is wrapped up in his private companies and, so, documents unsealed by a court Friday list assets of just $124 million.
That was what the judge who sealed the Sherman estate files in 2018 referred to in open court as “chump change” for wealthy people like the Shermans. Barry was the founder and owner of Apotex, a generic pharmaceutical giant. His wife Honey was, like Barry, a well known philanthropist.
Beyond the $86 million in cash, the FBI is seeking to confiscate thousands of gold and silver bars, Patek Philippe and Rolex watches, and gem-studded earrings, bracelets and necklaces, many of them in felt or velvet pouches. The FBI also wants to take a box holder’s $1.3 million in poker chips from the Aria casino in Las Vegas.
The Supreme Court on Friday lifted sealing orders on the estate files of slain billionaires Barry and Honey Sherman in a unanimous decision, paving the way for the Toronto Star to access the files and capping off a three-year legal battle.
The couple was found killed in their Toronto home in 2017 — a high-profile case in which police have never named suspects or publicly revealed a possible motive.
The court files involve the last will and testament of Barry Sherman, the billionaire founder of generic drug giant Apotex, and the estate of his wife, Honey. (It is not known if she had a will.)
The lone full-time detective on the case told a Toronto courtroom in May that police have been pursuing a single “theory of the case” since four months after the murders.
Blake Hall, CEO of the online identity network ID.me, estimated that the U.S. lost more than $400 billion to fraudulent claims during the pandemic, Axios first reported Thursday. He also said up to 50% of all benefits offered through unemployment may have been stolen.

OTTAWA — New details about the man accused of intentionally driving his truck into a family in London, Ont., killing four, are emerging from court documents in which his parents reportedly describe him as “peculiar and challenging.”
Nathaniel Veltman, 20, was charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder for driving his Dodge pickup truck into a Muslim family walking on a downtown London street Sunday night.
Law enforcement agencies have arrested some 800 suspected criminals around the world after thousands of people were tricked into using an encrypted phone app which allowed police to monitor their conversations without their knowledge.
Australian police have told local media that the man who unwittingly helped to distribute the FBI-run encrypted messaging app was a fugitive named Hakan Ayik.
Alleged to be a drugs kingpin himself, officials say Mr Ayik was identified as a key influencer and given access by undercover agents to a handset which he then recommended to other criminal associates.
Four members of a London, Ont., family who were struck and killed by a vehicle in the city’s northwest Sunday evening are believed to have been targeted because they were Muslim, the area’s police chief says.
“We believe this was an intentional act and that the victims of this horrific incident were targeted,” Chief Steve Williams told reporters Monday afternoon.
“We believe the victims were targeted because of their Islamic faith.”

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sounded off on the U.S.’s approach to crime at a press conference in New York City Thursday.
She argued that the best way to address escalating crime rates was through better mental health care, not through more incarceration.
“It is not acceptable for us to use jails as garbage bins for human beings,” said the Congresswoman (D-NY) to a round of applause.
Can we build special mental hospitals and lock them in against their will? Because that worked before.
New York City has devolved from a once-thriving metropolis into a crime-infested slum thanks to the disastrous leadership of Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio and the left’s destructive anti-police rhetoric.
Two people have died and up to another 25 left injured after gunmen fired indiscriminately into a crowd gathered for a concert in south Florida in the early hours of this morning.
Just after midnight three people armed with assault rifles and handguns pulled up to the El Mula Banquet Hall in Northwest Miami-Dade in a white SUV and began shooting.
The banquet hall in the Hialeah area had been rented out for the concert and some concert-goers were outside when the gunmen stepped out the Nissan Pathfinder vehicle and gunfire erupted.
Why no suspect descriptions?
Meanwhile in Canada…
