Gangs: Shots fired to make a point
According to La Presse’s Louis-Samuel Perron, our gangs are getting too blasé about gunfire, using shots to warn someone against sleeping with the wrong woman, showing off their guns on social media as part of an ongoing gang war. It would all seem adolescent and silly except that people get injured and killed, and sometimes it’s someone completely unconnected to gang life.
Laval is concerned about a growing number of minors being arrested for illegal firearms.

I wouldn’t put it past the SPVM to wag the dog and send non-unformed officers to fire off a few rounds in neighbourhoods to get additional press about how the “gun problem” is ramping up. No evidence of this, just something I feel they would do.

and I wouldn’t put it past anonymous internet commentors to plant baseless conspiracy theories in people’s minds to further their anti-police agenda.
