Suspicious death confirmed as Edmonton's first homicide. We had 11 at this time last year.

Second homicide, man shot, found on the side of the road in HRM
apparently this guy was a major coke dealer in the area:

I like Halifax, I think the city is beautiful. But I never really felt safe there, walking around after dark, and especially at some of the bars (I was coaxed in to visiting the Dome. Never again....the toothy moose, however, was wonderful). The most terrifying experience of my life was missing my exit on the highway in to Halifax and ending up in the middle of Dartmouth after dark. I refused to pull over and check my GPS, just kept driving until I found the bridge.

I can't tell if you're kidding or not. If you're being serious you really need to travel more. Try missing your exit a 3 am for the Lincoln Tunnel and ending up in one of the highest crimes centres in N.A. Now that was scary. I had a police escort me back onto the highway, and he had me follow him through 3 red lights.

Gatineau Police Investigating Death of 82-year-old Woman

Josh Pringle
Monday, March 26, 2012

Gatineau Police are investigating the death of an 82-year-old woman.

Police say they were called to a home on Chemin Rivermead in the Aylmer sector this evening by a man claiming he killed his wife.

The body of a 76-year-old woman was found inside the home with bullet wounds.

An 82-year-old man was arrested at the scene.

Is this one because of undesirables, scum, or "those people"?

[chrisallard5454]

Unkown. One was a shooting in the city's west end and the other was a beating in the normally quiet North Kildonan.

[chrisallard5454]

I understand who you were referring to, but I would like to hope that the people on this forum have the knowledge and class to understand that referring to an entire group of people in such a way is completely ignorant.

Peg off to a rough start again. Last year people said its just one year. Well its not looking good so far...

Last year Winnipeg surpassed its previous record by 9 homicides and was 25 % higher than any rate Winnipeg has ever seen. It was not and it still isn't a long shot to say that it was a one year thing.

Winnipeg however has had and will probably - for the short term anyways - have a violent crime problem.

[MexiQuebecois]

I heard from a friend that a guy just got shot in Hamilton's east end. Not sure if dead though.

No homicides, but 2 men were shot at a Young Jeezy hip hop concert in London:

Interestingly enough, someone else was shot at another Young Jeezy show in Toronto a few days earlier and was listed in serious condition. The "next stop, London, Ontario" tweet seems a little prophetic:

[Jammon]

Yeah, thugs and gang losers. While I commend the WPS for cracking down on organized crime and tackling organizations like the Hell`s Angels, they really opened a can of worms when they took them down. It has now opened up the city for these thug gangs to victimize citizens. We need a crackdown of all these thug gangs.

Yeah, as opposed to the Hells Angels, which apparently aren't a thug gang!

The old Hells Angels club house in my neighbourhood, which was a block away from the school, is going to become a community centre. Residents actually oppose the move because "community centres are where drug addicts go". They want the Hells Angels back. :rolleyes:

[Jammon]

There is a big difference between the Hell`s Angels and other thug gangs. The Hell`s and Bandido`s for example, are considered organized crime. They are going to always lie low. They are smart enough to ensure that they do not bring unwanted attention to themselves. While they can be more calculating in their approach, it is not their members who are randomly beating people for initiation or robbery. They employ the thug gangs to do their dirty work. Now, you look at Winnipeg and all of these thug gangs- the Indian Posse, Native Syndicate, Mad Cowz- they don`t care if they hurt someone for the hell of it. They fight for territory and use innocents as part of their initiations often. It is not unheard of for one of these gangs to have a random robbery or beating as part of their initiations. Big difference between the two types of gangs!

I've never understood how unescorted leaves from a psychiatric hospital are allowed. If someone is in there, and is known to have violent and unpredictable behavior, how can they be allowed to walk around among the population without supervision? It's just asking for trouble.

I'm not sure how much of this is NS and how much of it is true across the country, but it's not unheard of for serious crimes to be committed by repeat offenders who, usually because of age or mental illness, get a lot of leniency. Another case from a few years ago was Archie Billard, who hit and killed somebody while on a joy ride when he was 16. He was later released then assaulted somebody.

There's a fear of "institutionalizing" people and making them worse by keeping them in prison, but a certain number of people are just not safe to be out in public. Sometimes it might be hard to identify them, but other times it seems like the legal system is just messed up and misses violent criminals.

[vid]

In Ontario, it was primarily because the government at the time didn't want to pay for them anymore. Quite a few mentally ill people who were discharged from the Lakehead Psychiatric Hospital due to the Harris cuts have gone missing, died, or committed crimes. One man from that hospital hijacked a Greyhound bus and rolled it over, killing an elderly woman. Another went into an old folks home about 7 years ago and ripped the arm off a resident. But hey, our income taxes we slightly lower for a brief period of time!! Hooray!!

The entire facility is closing in a couple years, to be replaced by a much smaller treatment centre downtown.

Basically it seems like this country simply doesn't know how to deal with criminally insane people.

Yesterday was a busy day in Winnipeg. In a Daniel Mcintyre neighbourhood a woman was found dead at approximately 12:30. Her death is being considered suspicious as neighbours claim a domestic dispute has occurred. At 5:40 a man committed a murder suicide, by killing his wife, fleeing and then forcing a head on collision on a highway south of the city. That is Winnipeg's second murder-suiside of the year. That brings this years homicide count to 15.

Three people were murdered in a house yesterday in the Aylmer district of Gatineau. Three murders is often our city's entire murder total for the year.

Victims are an older couple, and the daughter of the woman in the couple, who was around 18. The daughter had a young boy just over a year old. The baby was unharmed and found nearby with the suspect, who is his father and the ex-boyfriend of the 18-year-old victim.

I believe this is Toronto's 21st homicide of the year. What makes it so scary is that the gunman was bold (and stupid) enough to attack his target in a crowded public place. It has also shaken many peoples' belief that the downtown is immune to this sort of ruffianism. However, the National Post has done a homicide infographic (2006-2011 patterns), and despite what many people say, downtown Toronto seems to have just as many (if not more) problems as Scarborough, a region traditionally mocked for being "the hood". As expected, with the exception of the lovely Jane & Finch, North York was probably the safest area in the city:

London also had a bad time last week. Some poor guy was stabbed near Adelaide St. N. and Hamilton Road, later succumbing to his injuries in hospital. A man with gunshot wounds was also found near Boullee and Victoria Streets with no vital signs. Someone was charged in the stabbing, no charges yet in the gunshot case though. London Police are asking anyone with information to come forward. Briefings for both can be found here, respectively:

First two murders of the year, I believe. Both took place on the same day.

Thunder Bay is now at one after one inmate killed another at our jail. I didn't know that kind of homicide counted for the city in general. Both the victim and the accused were 19 years old.

It does? That's not really fair. It distorts the statistics for the city and implies that the general risk to the public is higher than it actually is. Any prison incidents ought to be isolated.

[vid]

It is just the local media stating that, so it might not be counted officially. I guess with all the flooding news, they need to call it murder to stand out and get people's attention.

Montreal is at 10 after a body was found in a suitcase in Cote-Des-Neiges. It could be related to the foot sent to the conservative party in Ottawa.

that was the 11th

[Darkoshvilli]

that was the 11th Technically, yes. But:

According to Geneviève Dubé of the Montreal police, the first homicide of the year was that of a two-month-old girl. While the girl was found dead on Dec. 23, 2011, the mother was charged with second-degree murder on Jan. 12 of this year.

Sounds like a weird legal technicality.

So we're at 10. Pretty low number and we're half way to the new year. Looks like we could end up with our lowest total yet. Lowest so far was in 2008 with 29.

Calgary is at 5 now after a man was found dead in an SUV behind a strip mall last weekend. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/story/2012/06/11/calgary-suv-homicide.html

A 2nd victim of the shooting at the Eaton Centre died of his injuries, putting the city up to 22 for the year so far.

http://www.thestar.com/news/crime/article/1209713--eaton-centre-shooting-second-victim-dies

All 3 of these guys, the shooter and the 2 victims, were from the same freaken gang. Morons. If you want to settle a beef, don't do it in the food court of the busiest mall in the country's largest city.
They should bring back legal duelling.

Some good news though, the 13 year old boy who was hit in the head with a stray bullet was released from hospital after "complicated surgery".

Jesus Christ....

Yeah that's something straight out of a movie there, scary shit!

Suspect in the U of A shooting is an employee of the armoured car service.

By The Canadian Press


TORONTO - A shooting at a cafe in broad daylight in Toronto's Little Italy neighbourhood has left one person dead.

Another person has been rushed to hospital.

Toronto police say shots were fired just after 3:30 p.m. today at the Sicilian Cafe near College St. and Ossington Ave.

Police are investigating.

The shooting occurred as soccer fans had gathered to see Italy play Ireland in an opening round match that could determine whether Italy advances in the Eurocup.

[bulliver]

^ So the shooting was over the soccer game, or just happened where it was showing? Either way, well done humanity.

[Calgarian]

It sounds like it was between a couple construction workers, no word what the dispute was though.

[Marty_Mcfly]

Still at zero here in St. John's. If Windsor can do it, we can too!

Nice to hear.

Since I've moved there, people have been talking about the city becoming more dangerous than in the past (which of course I can't comment on), but in my two school years there I've yet to see so much as a fight. I've heard more arguments in St. John's than anywhere else I've been in the country, but the city still feels very tame to me violence-wise.

The good thing with St. John's is you're really not going to be a part of the violence unless you're in the drug trade, or drunk and rowdy downtown. Crime has increased, but thankfully random crime hasn't, unless we're talking property crime and car break ins. Still safe to walk the streets, for now anyway.

Ha, no. 99% likelihood it was a mob hit, the assassin was disguised in a construction worker outfit.

Yeah, my house was broken into last summer. It wasn't exactly random though; I think the guy was shown the house the week prior by the property management company, and knew it was empty. Went in the back door, and had a car waiting out front to load all the goodies into.

This year there has been someone there all summer, and I have a security system now. Not worried about that anymore.

[GORDBO]

Add 2 more for Winnipeg, for a total of 17.

[Darkoshvilli]

Montreal had its 11th today.

[GORDBO]

Winnipeg up to 18 now.

BREAKING: According to CHUM, there was a double-murder inside the psych ward at the Notre-Dame hospital last week.

[harls]

Something I found weird was when that triple murder happened in Aylmer not that far from me, the local rag said nothing about it. Perhaps it was too shocking for our geriatric community? Anyway the top stories of the week after were about the ugly pot holders on main street and planes changing their flightpaths because Ottawa International Airport needed to pave a runway. Can't talk about murders in town, how interesting is that?

They found someone's head in a Montreal park last night. :yuck:

[PrairieGirl]

Can't remember when my (itsy bitsy) city had its last one.

I hope this is not the start of more gang shootings in Calgary again. This is right beside Smash Burger where my son works. The whole plaza was closed all day yesterday so he didn't work.

Terrible news for Toronto...

Mass shooting at a Scarborough BBQ party kills 2 and injures 20+. 14 year old and 23 year old have died.
