Source – The gunman in Sunday’s deadly attack on Danforth Avenue in Toronto died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head following an exchange of gunfire with officers, a police source tells CBC News.
During the attack, which killed two people and wounded 13 others, police located Faisal Hussain, 29, near Danforth and Bowden avenues the city’s vibrant Greektown neighborhood.
That was where the gunfight took place, according to Ontario’s police watchdog, the Special Investigations Unit (SIU).
Coward. Taking your own life after taking someone else’s is the ultimate pussy move.
If you’re brave enough to unload a couple of clips into a busy restaurant full of innocent people, you ought to be able to stand there and get pumped in the same manner.
IMO, there’s no excuse, and mental illness is just an excuse the family used to soften the blow toward the family and the real reason he shot a bunch of people for no reason. He did it because he was a coward.
‘Coward’ should replace ‘Terrorist’ in the dictionary, and no matter what reason his family gives, Faisal was a cowardly asshole to the very end.
