Jordan Manners, 15 was shot on May 26 after being shot at the CW Jefferys Collegiate Institute. Canadian police have finally arrested the two suspects of the shooting. One teenager turned himself in and both of the teenagers are reported to face murder charges. Jordan Manners died in a hospital on Wednesday. The two suspects were friends of the victim. Toronto's police chief, Bill Blair, said the incident in the neighborhood was "shocking". "Students have a right to a safe school environment. It is shocking that such a crime could take place in our schools," he said. This shooting was Toronto’s 26th murder this year and the 13th to involve a gun.

This is another news of shootings in canada which i think is really sad. I think that schools should have programmes to help the teenagers in need either of stress or other reasons. i think that Guns should be banned and illegal to be sold to anyone as they are really dangerous items.

I just can't believe the murderers were so called friends. Also I think it is disgusting that it was Toronto's 26th murder this year. I just can't believe what is happening with kids today.
