Let that headline sink in a few seconds.
When you were 14, recall anyone charged with such a crime.
But that’s how hold the accused is in the June 2 mass shooting outside North Albion Collegiate Institute in northern Etobicoke.
Three weeks and one day after that, Toronto Police announced a 14-year-old boy is charged with two-counts of first-degree murder and seven of attempted murder.
61-year-old Delroy ”George” Parkes and 46-year-old Seymour Gibbs died in hospital.

Three others were wounded and the 14-year-old is also charged with attempting to kill them as well as four others, who luckily, were not shot.
Homicide Det. Sgt. Phillip Campbell explains how officers came to make the arrest not long after the late night shooting June 2.
”A few hours later, in the same area, officers became involved in a stolen vehicle investigation.
They arrested a male youth who was fleeing the vehicle, and through investigation, determined he was one of the suspects involved in the shootings,” added Campbell.
Police say they’re looking for at least one more suspect involved in the mass shooting.
