McGuinty to visit east Toronto neighbourhood in wake of shooting rampage

TORONTO – Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty will visit the east Toronto neighbourhood today where a shooting rampage Monday night left two people dead and 23 wounded.

McGuinty will visit the East Scarborough Boys and Girls Club this afternoon to speak with local community leaders who are trying to prevent violence and steer youths away from joining gangs.

The club is on Galloway Road, which is home to the Galloway Boys, one of Toronto’s most notorious street gangs.

Nineteen-year-old Nahom Tsegazeb of Toronto is the first person charged in Monday’s shootout.

He is charged with reckless discharge of a firearm but police say the charge doesn’t relate to the deaths of 14-year-old Shyanne Charles and 23-year-old Joshua Yasay.

Tsezageb is among the injured, and remains in custody in hospital.

At least one more suspect is being sought.
