Rattled by string of violent attacks, Toronto wonders if city is unraveling<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

As residents grapple with the latest attack to hit the city in recent months, some are asking whether it was becoming less safe<\/h5>\n

Detectives in\u00a0Canada<\/a>\u00a0are still seeking a motive for a mass shooting which left three dead \u2013 including the gunman \u2013 and injured more than a dozen others, as residents of Toronto grapple with the latest in a string of violent incidents to hit Canada\u2019s biggest city in recent months.<\/p>\n

Federal officials said on Tuesday that there was\u00a0no terror link<\/strong>\u00a0to Sunday\u2019s attack in which the\u00a0lone gunman<\/a>\u00a0opened fire along a bustling avenue in the city, seemingly shooting at random at pedestrians and into shops and restaurants.\u00a0\u201cAt this time, there is no national security nexus to the investigation,\u201d said a spokesperson for the ministry of public safety.\u00a0The attack killed two people, a recent high school graduate Reese Fallon and 10-year-old Julianna Kozis. The 13 injured include six women and girls, as well as seven men.<\/p>\n

Authorities have not yet publicly speculated on the motive of the gunman,\u00a0Faisal Hussain<\/a>, or explained how he obtained the handgun used in the attack.\u00a0In a statement, his family cited his lifelong struggle with depression and psychosis, noting that professional help, medication and therapy had failed to help him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I would say his name alone is a pretty good clue as to the gunman\u2019s motivation. Note the usual \u201cno connection to terrorism\u201d bromide about an incident that is obviously terrorism, committed by a \u201cknown wolf<\/a>\u201d Pakistani Muslim exercising his religious freedom to kill the infidel wherever he may find us. But as long as the authorities and the media continue to pretend that only provable-in-courts-of-law conspiracy cases are \u201cterror links,\u201d the public will continue to be ill-served about the scope of the problem.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
