The total number of homicides in Toronto so far in 2007 is 27, 14 of them involving guns.
There were 22 homicides by this time last year, eight of them committed with firearms.
In 2005, the year notoriously referred to as the year of the gun in Toronto, 26 had been slain by May 24 with 16 having been shot.
It's beginning to look like a very violent summer in Toronto this year.

Its not all bad. While the number of shooting deaths is up, the total number of shootings are down 30% from last year. But lets hope this high murder rate doesn't carry on for the rest of the year. We've already reached 29 though...
