Shooting At Osgoode Stn

This shit needs to stop.....if yall got aggression go play football or some shit these clowns are shootin each other for lord knows what. Back in the days the older mans would beat the fuck outta a young buck if they heat up the block. Now it seems like the older dudes don't care and the young ones are on some wreckless shit. To me personally there's never a need for violence unless its some big money invovled, but like these dudes are shootin each other up on the ttc and buses so it can't be over no serious amount of money. Maybe stricter gun penalities are needed.....5 years per bullet or like Chris Rock suggested, make each bullet $1000 then there would be prbly 2 murders per year since these clowns are wildin' for nothin.....its a shame, but such is life.

The station — at Queen Street West and University Avenue, beneath the city's new opera house and just steps from its main criminal courts and City Hall — quickly turned into a crime scene, scoured by heavily armed tactical officers and police dogs. A stretch of the north-south University subway line was shut down for five hours.

In this case the victim, a 19-year-old man known to police but said to be co-operating with investigators, was hit point-blank by bullets in the leg and abdomen and suffered what police said were serious but not life-threatening injuries.

Police say the shooting, which took place at about 10:45 a.m., followed an argument that erupted as a group of young men exited a southbound subway train.

The shots "sounded like it was construction workers on the line, banging a piece of wood," she said, adding that many passengers seemed confused at first.

"A lot of people didn't quite know what they were," Ms. Wiebe said. "Suddenly, everyone who was walking calmly up the stairs started running like crazy."
