Last Monday, the Danzig Street BBQ in east Scarborough was the talk of families and neighbours in the area. But later that day the community fell silent in the aftershock of a shooting that killed 2 and injured 23.

Police are still collecting evidence and investigating while urging people to come forward with information. The shootings are said to be gang-related.
