I understand the shooter is "afro caribean." He sprayed bullets in the general directon of His intended target who is named Hassan something. It will be interesting to see how the Media will handle this. I'm not sure they can avoid showing the suspects face as He is a known fugitive on the loose.

A black man with a hoodie.

This sounds like he could be a relative of Trayvon Martin .

He fired ... in the air,” then calmly pointed it at nearby shoppers and food court patrons, while continuing to trigger the handgun, Neves-Polonio said. Describing the killer as a dark-skinned man wearing a hoodie and baggy pants, the Eaton Centre staffer said he appeared to be “just crazy ... mentally unstable.

Listen to CBC "Fifth Estate's" Gillian Findlay give the bleeding heart White LIberal take on this in the last half of this segment. She's saying stuff like "Well Somalis are vctims of Racism and they can't get regular jobs", and if it were White kids being killed instead of Blacks then People would care more. Then she emphasizes "GUN crime". And then "well overall crime is going down".

They are still not releasing much info on the 13 year old boy, who was shot. I suspect they are trying to cover up the fact that he is White!

But I found this HERE:

Connor Stevenson was among the people wounded when gunfire broke out on the weekend in the mall’s food court.

Nearby in Port Hope, a town of 16,500 about 100 km east of Toronto, Connor attends Trinity College School. The private school for students in Grades 5 through 12 is one of Canada’s oldest educational institutions.

“We have talked about this terrible incident with our students in class and in chapel and we’ll continue to have those conversations, obviously, in the days ahead,” said Ashley DiNova, the school’s director of communications.

“He’s a very kind and caring young man and he’s missed at the school,” she said.

Connor does well academically, Mr. Stevenson said, and he enjoys playing hockey and skiing.

Everyone shed a tear for this Sri-Lankan immigrant who had just had charges dropped for a murder that took place while he was in prison.

A deportation would have saved his life.

Second Eaton Centre victim was trying to change checkered past

Nixon Nirmalendran walked out of the prisoner’s box in January this year, after a second-degree murder charge in the brutal Don Jail beating of Kevon Phillip was dropped.His freedom was short-lived.
Six months later, Nirmalendran was gunned down at the recent Eaton Centre rampage and his dreams of becoming a child and youth care worker died in a hail of bullets.
Defence lawyer Christopher Assie, who had represented Nirmalendran in the past, said Tuesday his former client was looking forward to “turning his life around” after making a series of “poor choices” that tarnished him with an unenviable criminal record.
He had robbed other teens with a pellet gun as an 18-year-old, “which sounds more nefarious than it really is,” said Assie.
His criminal record also revealed that the Sri Lankan immigrant also broke several bail conditions.
But in January, he was finally clear of any charges — and any sentence or bail.
“He had no outstanding charges and wasn’t serving any sentence — he just walked out as a free man,” said Assie.
