Police tactical officers were called to a residence at around 1:45 p.m. in response to a domestic dispute.

No cars or pedestrians were allowed through the area for several hours. An ambulance stood by at a police command post, though no other details were being released by police at the time.

About 45 minutes later, police entered the home and found the body of a man with an apparent gunshot wound. There are unconfirmed reports that a woman involved in the incident was taken to hospital.

Five investigators and two forensic investigators from the special investigation unit are now probing the circumstances around the shooting.


It's awful to think of us driving past earlier in the day not knowing what was going on inside it.

People are so stupid though; while it was going on my friend said a neighbor took his young grandchildren down there to see what was happening (uh, police in riot gear holding rifles are a good indicator that maybe you want to back away not get closer). And a woman in a car tried to squeeze past the police saying she wanted to go to the supermarket right by it.

Priorities, people! They had the bomb squad there for goodness sake!

My friend bid on a three hour yacht trip in a charity auction and won. It's for six, so she invited David and me, as well as her husband (0bviously) and two other close friends we've known for years and we set sail around Toronto Harbor tomorrow.

It's a big day with the air display so we're going to be there from 12-3 and should get to watch the display.

ITINERARY on Saturday September 1:
• 12:00 pm boarding at the National Yacht Club.
• We plan to stay at the dock as long as you wish and then depart for a cruise around the Toronto Harbour and Islands, take in the CNE Air Show and plan to be back at the dock by 3:00 pm.

The yacht looks very fancy and they provide light lunch. And you can swim off it but...mmm. I don't see me doing that.
