Another shooting occurred Friday at the Eaton Centre. Very little information has been released, except for the recollection of events by witnesses. The shooter opened fire in the food court Friday evening, endangering the lives of innocent people.
It is a damn shame when an individual decides to endanger the lives of innocent bystanders because of some desperate need for retaliation to "prove" something.
As of today, police are keeping tight-lipped about the shooter and the investigation as a whole.
Among the victims were Ahmed Hassan, 24, who died from multiple gunshot wounds. According to CP24, Christopher Husbands turned himself in to 52 Division and is to appear in court this afternoon.
Many question how the shooter could have gotten away. Police procedures have changed from containing the perimeters and and waiting for a task force, to entering straight into the perimeters and allowing victims to exit the premises. This allows people to remove themselves from the danger zone instead of being forced to stay inside with the shooter, and potentially be harmed in the process.
The Eaton Center was closed for the remainder of the weekend, and reopens today.
This incident brings back the Jane Creba murder back on Boxing Day of 2005, when a shooter opened fire among hundreds of shoppers on Yonge Street.
When we forget we're all humans, that is when disaster strikes.
