Last week a 16-year-old student was shot just outside of his secondary school in Scarborough. In an unusual twist, the “victim” was later charged along with another for attempted robbery. The alleged “real victim”, another student, apparently consciously or unconsciously successfully applied the wisdom of the late Jimmy Hoffa – always run towards a gun and away from a knife. As soon as he saw the gun he made a grab for it and it went off, critically injuring the shooter’s alleged accomplice.
