http://www.ctvnews.ca ^

Posted on 08/25/2016 11:29:59 AM PDT by marthemaria

Three people have died after an attack involving a crossbow in Toronto’s east end.

The incident happened near Markham Road and Eglinton Avenue East in Scarborough Thursday afternoon.

Toronto paramedics said two males and one female were pronounced dead at the scene. One male was transported to hospital with minor injuries.

Police say the man who placed the call to 911 is one of the deceased.

A man has been taken into custody, police said, and there doesn’t appear to be any suspects outstanding.

Police say a crossbow was found nearby, and there were other items found in the area that could have been used in the incident.

As first responders descended on the residential neighbourhood, police cordoned off a large perimeter.

Officers said they are investigating three different houses and are trying to determine exactly what happened.

Good thing Canada spent a billion dollars on a gun registry. Someone might have gotten shot, otherwise.

Was it an assault crossbow?

Only if it was fully automatic and had a bayonet lug.

Wow...had no idea of the Chinese repeating crossbow from 300 BC. “...in the hands of a trained soldier, could easily launch ten bolts in fifteen seconds.” and effective to 80 meters!

So the attacks were Charlton Hestons fault?

I always wondered if he was as good as he appeared!

you jest, but I am embarrassed to admit there is actually a category of “prohibited” crossbows in Canada.

3 accurate shots in rapid succession? It must be an automatic crossbow.

Since no description of the perp was given he is either black or muzzie!

Scarborough. Certainly likely to be non-white.

7.7% of Toronto is Muslim. That’s enough evidence for me to conclude the attacker was Muslim until someone proves otherwise.

Because of recent statistics, the burden of proof now lies on those to prove it was not a Muslim.

“By the late 1970s a large number of Muslims had migrated and settled in the east part of Toronto which is known as Scarborough. Currently over 100,000 Muslims reside in the Scarborough area and this number is growing rapidly.”
