The victims were reportedly driving south on the highway, between Steeles Ave. West and Finch Ave., West when the gunshots began.
The uptick of shootings on 400-series highways should urge @fordnation’s government to take @patrickbrownont’s calls for the installation of CCTV cameras seriously. Important for solving these types of crimes but also for investigating accidents and other highway problems.
