SHOOTING at EATON CENTRE in TORONTO...1 dead

Re: SHOOTING at EATON CENTRE in TORONTO...1 dead

Muslim or not the guy was a member of the same gang......pathetic idiot.

Re: SHOOTING at EATON CENTRE in TORONTO...1 dead


true...harmed so many others in the process of settling scores with his buddy...i hope he will be locked up for the rest of his life. Toronto isn't as safe as it used to be when i came to Canada more than a decade ago. i hope the authorities will be tough in dealing with ALL the gangs.

Re: SHOOTING at EATON CENTRE in TORONTO...1 dead

As per today's news, this appears to be a personal beef. Both the victim and the shooter belonged to the same gang. I don't know how relevant this is, but Somali-Canadians have been lured by easy drug money in Alberta and have been moving from Toronto to Alberta. Officials are saying a lot of them are really naive and don't understand the nuances of the gang culture.

Re: SHOOTING at EATON CENTRE in TORONTO...1 dead

maybe so.....but really what nuance about a gun in your hand, vengeance and anger on your mind and a food court chock full of humans of all ages, gender and size do you need to understand?

lock him up and throw away the key.......we don't need these sort.

Re: SHOOTING at EATON CENTRE in TORONTO...1 dead

I agree. But when I said that, it was in reference to their expectations that they'll get in, make some quick bucks and then get out of the gangs.

Re: SHOOTING at EATON CENTRE in TORONTO...1 dead

The loser murderer wasn't Muslim. He's from Guyana and had gang ties as well. I'm not even going to bother posting his name because it's a waste of time and he doesn't need to be recognized.

I feel sorry for the parents of the victim. Another young Muslim gone.

Just like the brother that passed away in the car accident

May they be granted forgiveness for their actions in the duniya and may the people here learn from their mistakes.

Re: SHOOTING at EATON CENTRE in TORONTO...1 dead

another news byte that i heard this morning (AM640) was that the shooter and victim actually belonged to same gang.

perhaps setting personal score?

Re: SHOOTING at EATON CENTRE in TORONTO...1 dead

That young Muslim wasn't entirely an innocent bystander.

Re: SHOOTING at EATON CENTRE in TORONTO...1 dead


EXACTLY! he could have killed the shooter if he had a chance...probably, the shooter turned hinself in for fear of being killed by the victim's buddies.

Re: SHOOTING at EATON CENTRE in TORONTO...1 dead

Exactly! It was just as likely that the names could have been reversed.

Loss of life is tragic, senseless loss of life even more so, I'm just grateful that the bystanders weren't killed, being injured was bad enough. But as for the actual victim, don't want to say he brought it upon himself, but he did make some choices that led to what happened.

Re: SHOOTING at EATON CENTRE in TORONTO...1 dead

Far from it!
If he was in his teens I would say bring the parents in to account for how they raised him......

Re: SHOOTING at EATON CENTRE in TORONTO...1 dead

I never said he was innocent.

He's also a fool too.

But when it's someone from the Ummah, there is a sense of loss.

Again, just like that Pakistani guy that got into a car with the driver who was drinking and speeding and died.

It was a bad decision and something both of these parents have to live with for the rest of their lives.

Re: SHOOTING at EATON CENTRE in TORONTO...1 dead


as a Muslim or as a human, i would never mourn a killer's death...someone who has been in a gang deserves to die at the hands of a bigger thugs...i would also NOT stand in line to say namaaz-e-janaazah at his burial.

Re: SHOOTING at EATON CENTRE in TORONTO...1 dead

Sadly it wasn't any major loss given the choices he'd made. Callous of me to say that, I admit.

Re: SHOOTING at EATON CENTRE in TORONTO...1 dead

Jeez, I never said I would go to their Janazah. Relax.

I don't remorse for him, but for his family. No matter how a child dies, it is still their child. And I feel for his mother, my Muslim Sister in Islam.

And it's not my problem if you people cannot sympathize.

I don't have sympathy for a drunk driver that dies, but sympathy for the parents.

Re: SHOOTING at EATON CENTRE in TORONTO...1 dead

My friend was right outside eaton center at dundas square and there was some concert happening and she said, she didn't even know shootings happened inside the mall until she checked her phone, had 12 messages from her family and peers inquiring if she is ok.

Re: SHOOTING at EATON CENTRE in TORONTO…1 dead

uff there are so many developments in this story…

"The man killed in the deadly Eaton Centre shooting in Toronto that left six other people wounded apparently stabbed the suspect three months ago, CBC News has learned.

Ahmed Hassan, 24, died in the Saturday evening shooting that plunged the landmark mall in downtown Toronto into chaos as thousands of shoppers fled in terror."
