This is a terrible crime. Canada has a sad history of random gunfire in public places -- this may be the act of a deranged individual or a heartless criminal. Either way, whoever it is must be removed from society -- thank G-d it seems no one died!
Gunman opens fire in Calgary bar, injures 5
The shooting happened around 1:30 a.m. at the Mirage Bar & Grill on 10th Avenue S.W.
"[He] fired off numerous rounds from what we believe to be a handgun. Several victims were hit and then the offender fled the bar," said Calgary police Duty Insp. Rob Williams.
Two men are in hospital in potentially life-threatening condition. Three other bar patrons - two men and a woman - were treated for minor injuries and released.

Obviously, we need to make shooting other people in a bar double-plus illegal.
Big surprise, that's what happens when drunk idiots get their hands on hand guns.
I hear Bar Owners have been held responsible when a drunk patron gets in their car and hurts or kills someone, maybe the bar owner did it?
I have noticed allot of these kind of shootings especially in Ontario happen at or around "the bar scene", likely alcohol or drug use plays a big part. I would guess even more than the hand-gun or "deranged individual".
Drug and alcohol abuse is a far bigger problem in this country right now than handguns or any guns will or could ever be, crack- cocaine has been an epidemic in Canada for more than twenty years.
Guns don't kill people it's the idiot with the gun.
Ban the idiot!
(Guns don't kill people, people do)
I heard that when I was down in the States once and I think there could is allot of truth behind that.
