Some may be aware of the senseless killings in the city I live in; Toronto, Ontario. Monday evening 2 dead, 22 wounded in a shooting spree at a block BBQ. It was not the first, but the most egregious, the most number of wounded. Prior this one, we had Little Italy, Fireworks, and Eaton's center shooting. We got lucky there as despite a spree of bullets, not many injured or dead.

Now one young lady at The Eatons' Center, just minutes before the shooting. left; as she had a prescient "bad feeling". She was spared the hail of bullets there.

Just this morning, this same young woman, was visiting Aurora, Colorado a small town. She was at the movie theatre, when a gun man apparently erupted with his hatefull spree of bullets; she is believed dead!. Her brother enroute to Colorado, isn't sure at this moment if she is dead; her friend who was with her and also hit by bullets, believes that she is; he saw her struck twice.

This tradegy of gun violence is something I can not fathom. What drives these folks to erupt, and in callous disregard of human life, snuff it out?

I have no answers, I only have prayers and the hope, that one day we may create a world that the youth, the young and the old, will be able to live in peace with themselves and each other.
