TORONTO — Two teens aged 18 and 15 were in custody and a security guard was in hospital early Thursday afternoon with a bullet wound to the chest after gunfire erupted at the big Yorkdale Shopping Centre in North York, Ont.
The guard's injuries were described as serious, but he was wearing body armour and was expected to recover.
Toronto Police Constable Tony Vella said the guard's bulletproof vest saved his life.
“I think it's awful," said Sears customer Lisa Fargnoli, 42, who had come to Yorkdale to meet relatives for lunch.
Natalie Grabia, 21, said it was frightening the shooting could happen in the middle of the day in such a busy place.
"You just wouldn't expect that," she said.
The mall opened its doors in 1964 and is one of the largest in Canada. After a recent $60-million expansion it comprises more than 240 stores and services.

Now if someone would just explain to me again why the names of those young thugs shouldn't be plastered all over every newspaper and television news broadcast in the country....
Okay, if you boost a chocolate bar from the local Mac's Milk I can understand the cone of silence. But with a crime as serious as this, with such callous disregard for the lives of people around, these guys should be identified. This is not child's play.
