UPDATED: Olivia Chow speaks out about violence in Toronto
“My condolences to the family and loved ones of Karolina Huebner-Makurat,” Chow said to reporters following an anti-Islamophobia event Monday morning. “I can't imagine the grief and the shock that's going through the rest of the community.”
While homicides are down 11 per cent, more recent data on shootings and gun incidents are not yet available. She said she supports the violence-reduction strategies the city already has underway and said a public health approach is needed to further tackle the roots of gun violence. “It should be concerning because of the brazen nature of the shootings, but also the unpredictability,” March said. “The safe zones that are normally safe zones have been breached, and you can't predict where the next shooting will take place.”
