@DanforthFSC begin. Price details the events of the #DanforthShooting - a tragic act of violence committed by a gang related criminal with a stolen gun. Supports #C21 but will focus on the handgun “freeze”. Says legal handguns contribute to violence.
Says their own experience (with stolen gun from gang ties) is evidence of that. Reports that traced guns are 2x more likely to come from Canada not US. Says the freeze is necessary. Is worried about the exemptions for elite sport shooters.

Hussain had several dealings with Toronto and Durham police for being "EDP"-police jargon for "Emotionally Distressed Person"-described as depressed, fascinated with death and violence.
Hussain left his home about 8:30 night of shootings. Opened fire on Danforth at about 10pm. When police found his lifeless body his phone was ringing-it was his parents. Police told them to get to a police station.
