On what was supposed to be a celebratory night, the grand opening of a new pub at Scarborough Town Centre on Friday was met with gunfire, sending 12 people to the hospital.

Toronto police said three masked male suspects, one armed with an assault rifle and the other two with handguns, entered Piper Arms at 520 Progress Avenue just before 10:40 p.m.

“They walked into the bar. They produced their guns, and they opened fire indiscriminately on the people sitting inside the bar,” Supt. Paul MacIntyre of Organized Crime Enforcement told reporters at the scene.

Toronto is such a 3rd World Craphole I’m not even going to suggest this is anything but gang related.

‘We need to keep children safe’: How US-style terror drills came to Britain’s schools

School pupils have long been drilled in what to do in the event of a fire. Lining up in the playground while heads are counted is a routine part of school life.

Now, another type of drill appears to be increasingly common in British classrooms: the US-style lockdown, where children are prepared for the grim possibility of a violent attack on site.

More than a quarter (26 per cent) of primary school teachers have carried out such a drill since September, and 36 per cent of secondary school teachers, according to a recent survey by Teacher Tapp. Some primaries are reportedly also spending thousands of pounds on security systems to alert staff to intruders

Syrians and Bosnian among victims of gunman’s attack on Swedish school

Syrians and a Bosnian were among the 10 victims of a gunman who carried out the worst shooting in Swedish history, at a school in Orebro on Tuesday.

It was the first information about those murdered in the attack, and it came from two embassies rather than police, who only said there were victims of a number of nationalities.

Police said the suspected gunman, named locally as 35-year-old Rickard Andersson, was found dead after the attack, with three guns by his side.


No official motive declared but they dance around the prospect that it may be related to the shooter’s anger at Sweden’s disastrous mass immigration policy.
