TVA lists the shootings in the north end

TVA tallies the recent shootings in the north end, both those with victims and incidents when shots were heard and shells later found, but no victim turned up. They count 33 such incidents over the last six months.

People in St-Léonard are particularly shaken up by the killing of a 15‑year‑old girl on the weekend. It’s one thing if gang members are popping caps at each other, but when innocent passersby get hurt, it’s different. It took the death of 11‑year‑old Daniel Desrochers in a car bomb explosion in 1995 to make police crack down seriously on that decade’s biker war. Will something similar happen now?
