News February 2023 : Unlucky 13! Canadians Go Gun Happy Over Being Rude
By Cleopatra with Scholz
Gather around, good people, for I bring thee a most harrowing tale of a violent and senseless attack. On the fifteenth day of February in the year of our Lord 2023, a 65-year-old man was walking his dog in the town of Schomberg, Ont., when he was subjected to a hail of bullets. This shocking incident occurred on Centre Street between Rebellion Way and Church Street at around 8:30 in the morning.
According to reports written by Bryann Aguilar, a CP24 Web Content Writer, and updated by Sean Davidson, the man gestured at a white SUV that was speeding past him, but instead of heeding his warning, the vehicle circled back, and an armed passenger opened fire, shooting at the man a staggering thirteen times. The poor victim, along with his faithful canine companion, was severely wounded and is currently fighting for his life.
The York Regional Police spokesperson, Sgt. Clint Whitney, has described the attack as entirely random, with the suspects taking issue with the man for no apparent reason other than him gesturing at them to slow down. The police have released a video of the suspect vehicle, believed to be a white four-door Lexus RX 350, and are asking anyone with information to come forward.
The victim remains in critical condition, and as of the time of writing, there have been no updates on his health. The incident has caused shock and horror among the local community, and the Township of King has issued a statement condemning the attack. King Charles has yet to be informed.
May the victim find the strength to pull through, and may the perpetrators of this heinous crime be brought to justice.
