Public shootings in Toronto have dominated headlines in recent days. As of July 25, Toronto Police have reported a total of 31 homicides for 2012, with 23 of those involving shooting.

On June 2, a public shooting in Eaton Centre left one person dead and six others injured. One of the injured later died from his injuries. Another man was killed by gunfire in broad daylight in Little Italy later that month, and on Canada Day a man was shot near Ashbridges Bay an hour after the fireworks.

Then a gun fight broke out at a BBQ street party on July 16, leaving two people dead and 21 injured, including a baby. A day after this incident, a man was shot and killed at a soccer field in Etobicoke.
