The string of events was particularly unnerving to police because of the public nature of some of the incidents. “When something like that happens, it shakes up the community,” said Keaton Austin, an Etobicoke pastor who advocates for safety of young people. The seventh took place in Regent Park on Monday. Many shoppers and staff at Sheridan Mall in North York witnessed the attack, which took place around 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. In the wake of the attacks, Austin thinks more must be done to improve the security and safety of the areas where the shootings took place.
