Scoring may account for shooting of woman
The woman who was shot overnight was not too badly hurt, but the attack is being put down to scoring, a competition between gangs to count up how many shootings they can claim.
Two men have been arrested and charged with possession of illegal arms; more may be at large.

Weird how this horrific new practice of random violence against strangers is something only the reporter describes, with no secondary confirmation from police, social workers, ex-gang members, community leaders, or academics. People do all kinds of horrible things and i’d wouldnt be stunned to learn this were true, but a claim as explosive as “gangs are randomly selecting Montrealers and going so far as to murder them in order to score ‘points’” sure seems like it needs rather a lot more support than the scant explanation of this practice purported here.

I agree.

The article attributes the scoring theory to police.
