How does Canada....with apparently strict gun control...have an uptick in Shootings in Toronto of 56%?
Toronto seeing 56% increase in shootings in 2015
TORONTO - The number of shootings in Toronto is way up compared to the past two years, according to new police stats.
The Toronto Police Service’s year-to-date numbers show 103 people have been killed or injured in shootings this year — a 56% increase compared to this point last year and a 25.6% increase compared to 2013.
And since those figures were released last week, two more people have been shot to death and five more sent to hospital.
Toronto hasn’t seen this type of spike in gun violence since 2012, which has many people asking what’s being done to address the problem.
