Obviously the police chief needs to read a newspaper, once in a while. I remember a worse one in Brampton, from when I was a kid. Teenager walked into his high school and blew away his best friend, then a teacher, and wounded a dozen others. Dozens of kids were injured as they jumped from second floor windows, to get away from him. Happened a couple of miles from my school, at the time. It's also what sparked our biggest changes in gun laws.

From what I understand, Chicago equals Toronto's annual murder rate, every two seeks or so.
