From today's featured article  Morningside Coronation viewed from Danzig Street in 2018 The Danzig Street shooting occurred on the evening of 16 July 2012 during a crowded block party at Morningside Coronation (pictured), a social-housing complex in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Threats and confrontations between members of rival gangs escalated into the city's worst mass shooting, a gunfight which killed two and injured twenty-four others. Those convicted in relation to the shooting were teenagers during the fight. The Ontario provincial government enacted social programs aimed at curbing youth violence, while Rob Ford, Mayor of Toronto, called for the shooters to be expelled from the city. Jason Kenney, the immigration minister, cited the shooting in debate of the Faster Removal of Foreign Criminals Act which came into effect in 2013.

This allowed a targeted crackdown on the Galloway Boys gang and other gang activity in the city, and a dramatic reduction in shootings and other crimes. (Full article...)
