## Resource

Toronto endured a brutal weekend as two deadly shootings rocked the city—one at the Salsa on St. Clair festival Saturday night, another near Polson Pier Sunday morning. In the latter, a suspect allegedly stole a rideshare, hit pedestrians and cars while fleeing, leaving five hospitalized, one with life-threatening injuries. A 25-year-old from Brampton was arrested on multiple charges, including reckless weapon use and robbery, while a second suspect remains at large. Advocates blame systemic issues like economic inequality, while gun control experts urge caution, noting firearm incidents have risen but homicides remain steady. Police praised officers for their response amid the chaos. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
