I heard about this latest shooting around 6:30 this morning on the radio and the first mention of the location was 'Morningside and Lawrence', followed by the street itself. Not sure if 'Scarborough' even came up.

Same here. I've heard Danzig Street more often than Scarborough.

Yes, I think most if not all Torontonians pride ourselves on how safe it is here, where we can walk around town and not fear being mugged or assaulted at gun point. Unfortunately, I fear we are a couple of shooting incidents away (for example in the Yonge-Eglington area or North York etc) from officially becoming a "major US city".

Wow.. that's 2 major shootings in the short time I've been here. That's scary, I hope everybody else who was hit is all right.
Sorry, I didn't read the full article, did they arrest the shooter(s)?

Yes, Omar Little was what immediately came to mind when talking about "the Game." Really poor choice of words if referring to something else.
This incident is especially disturbing, as it is (yet again) in a very public place.

The Star, the Sun and CP24 have "Scarborough" plastered on their sites just as the title of this thread.

OK, so they're saying Scarborough. Did the shooting happen or not?

If these comments from Twitter (compiled by a Reddit user) are any indication, this is going to get worse. http://www.reddit.com/r/toronto/comments/wokxt/breaking_news_11_people_shot_at_house/c5f61do

And the Globe is calling it a 'Toronto house party' in 'east-end Toronto'.

Gawd, all those gigabytes of nothing on Twitter. On the bright side, it's evidence for law enforcement.

They might have these guys keeping an eye on Caribana. Problem is having more police isn't going to stop these thugs from shooting. They clearly don't care when or where they open fire.

because it is in scarborough.
then you should be correcting RF et al (yourself included) when they talk about their Sheppard subway plans servicing scarborough, because in reality it only runs along Sheppard E up to Kennedy then couple more stops southbound before arriving at STC. It would NOT provide service east of McCowan Road.
HIS '"PLAN" EXCLUDES EVERYTHING FROM MCCOWAN TO MORNINGSIDE !
that's alot of Scarborough or Sheppard East overlooked

cd108, this isnt this the RF thread or the Scarborough subway thread. I'm talking about about a media bias when it comes to crime reporting in Scarborough and using this shooting as a prime example.

Well, you yourself just said Scarborough. What are they supposed to say (or not to say), downtown? East York? Etobicoke? Let me tell you how to deal with the media bias - stop having shootings within the borders of Scarborough.
