Shopping Malls Are Not Sage

One innocent man dead, and still not sight of the shooter. During the evening time, at downtown Toronto, there was a gun shooting incident that happened in one of the major attractions, Eaton Centre. A man was killed at scene, but they still haven't been able to catch the shooter. Several people were also injured. However, these injuries did not occur because of the gun shoot but due to the mad exodus that took place inside the mall for evacuation. A 19 year old victim, Marcus described the scene "Unbelievable". He said he didn't see the victim, but as he heard the trigger, he ducked under the table. He said it was out of the blue and was not expected what so ever. It said that there were 15 gun shots. Shoppers Drug Mart went into an mediate lock down and in matter of minutes, the building was empty. On the ground, there was a young little girl who had a bleeding toe which she later said she was shot. Luckily no severe damages were done to her. Even the near stations were temporarily shut down.

The world today is not a safe place to live in. Now, with many incidents, people fear of what to expect in the world today. Even with cameras, and people still have the pride to shoot a gun in a big populated mall where many people could of got hurt or died. I think it is necessary to set up metal or weapon detectors before someone enters a mall, store, or even schools. Dangerous weapons are affordable which makes the world a dangerous place.
