- Police say a 19-year-old Hamilton man has died following a daytime shooting near Jackson Square on Wednesday.
Shots rang out on a busy King Street West shortly after 1 p.m.
Upon arrival, police say they found the victim suffering from life-threatening gunshot wounds. He was rushed to hospital where he would ultimately be pronounced deceased.
Witnesses have reported it as a drive-by shooting, though it has not been confirmed by police. At this time, officers have only confirmed that a vehicle was seen fleeing the area shortly after and that suspect and vehicle descriptions are not available.
With the shooting taking place in front of the Ellen Fairclough office building at 119 King St. West, those inside were put into lockdown.
Mayor Andrea Horwath released a statement on social media a few hours after the news broke, expressing her shock at the shooting.
A large stretch of King Street West remains closed and people are being asked to avoid the area as investigations continue.
Investigators are asking anyone who may have witnessed the incident to contact officers at 905-546-4925.
Our city is lawless. Nothing is enforced. The way people drive, and face no consequences makes our streets dangerous alone. There is absolutely no respect for law and order.
I remember how Stelco and Defasco built this city. They built the hospitals, roads, rec centers, college wings, parks and gave back to the community. When's the last time you saw an Amazon park, or a Wal-Mart rec center?
We need to start acting like a community before we can become one again.
What does driving badly have to do with a shooting and murder??
@@wigsy99 Seriously?
Criminals are thriving while working people are being victimized and struggling. It’s a lawless society now.
Yes old people driving 20 km/hr causing long traffic and people like me have do dangrously manover around them to get home after a long day at work.
Those days are pretty much over. Cheaper labor, Crime, and a higher cost of living..
We are on track to being a minority. Our institutions won't represent us. Democracy is basically being taken away from us.
Canada isn't the beautiful nation it once was just 30+ years ago. Our cities are disgusting.
Just a couple of questions for the CRIME Minister
1) Was the perpetrator a legal, law abiding, tax paying Canadian Citizen?
2) Did the perpetrator have a valid firearms license, and was that firearm legally purchased in Canada?
3) How could this possibly happen with your Handgun Freeze and Rifle Ban that has been in place for several years?
Good questions , but you will never get the answers . They never answer to the people they are supposed to serve. They act like they are gods.
Guy was shot unarmed on his way into a probation meeting, someone let them know the meeting time. Knowing he would be unarmed, this is why guns need to be legal to use for self protection. There's killer cops rolling these streets, let alone other folks.
I agree 100%
Wasn't the legally licensed RPAL holder was it?
Coming from Regent park in the 90's I can tell you this was not random, it was drug dealers claiming territories. Down the mountain is a slum hole, the roads are like driving offroad your suspension gets damaged and downtown is no longer safe to walk the streets at night.
It was so hard in Hamilton I risked my uni degree to sell drugs. They lost a hard worker in Hamilton who would have worked nights without complaint and done cute things with my bunny tail. Lol. *hops off the bus back to where I come from*
What happen? I thought Trudeau already banned guns.
only for honest people
Pretty dumb place to off someone. Hamilton Mountain and downtown areas are like completely different cities.
Not really. Lots of serious crimes have happened up the mountain, you are just ignoring them. Apart from the crazy homeless, downtown is safe if you are not involved in some type of crime yourself.
@@fallenangel7884 I lived near Quern and main for 10yrs. I myself have never really had an issue. However my car was broken into as well as almost all my neighbors cars at one point or another. The roaring of police and ambulance every 30min, the beggars and sketchies everywhere, homeless encampments, people walking around like they are from the living dead, corner store robberies. Look, people do things everywhere but all you gotta do is just drive around on the mountain and then drive down.. its 2 totally different worlds.
@@shahid8545 I live near the same area, have been living here for many years and I have not had any problems. I can walk around at night and nothing bad has happened to me, (Knock on wood). Yes, If you are gonna move from a high traffic area like Queen and main to a quite area up the mountain, you are gonna feel the difference. But still, car theft is also high up the mountain and beggars can be seen at every main intersection or stop light with signs asking for money. Like you said in your comment, you never had an issue while living downtown. I think that people who get involved in criminal activities are the ones who see the consequences of their actions, and this can happen downtown as well as up the mountain.
I didn’t travel the mountain once because in order to check it out you need a drive. You need a car to get around Hamilton despite the ~amazingly friendly bus service~~ and trafficked girls like me get trafficked on buses too.
@@fallenangel7884 Fair. Is it also fair to say that quality of life improves away from downtown overall? I think the answer is a overwhelming yes.
19? Wow, just a kid. Hamilton is getting really bad if this criminals are now doing drive by shootings in broad day light.
We get that here in BC all the time. No one blinks an eye anymore. We duck, we just don't blink.
@@PamelaFormanElon_Marz We are gonna be the same soon by the looks of it.
The diversity is responsible. 🤷♂️
A lot of the downtown denizens don't seem surprised at how bad it's gotten.
I see the OIC rifle ban and the handgun freeze seem to be working as touted!
It's even crazier that it happened during the day.
The Hammer is a dump
A reflection of the community living there.
It's not a dump, it's a TOILET!
It’s not a toilet it’s an armpit lol
I blame Mark Miller for this 3rd world coming to Canada.
Are all the markers for shell casings? Did the victim have a weapon?
sounds like a rogue deer hunter justin you better ban some more law abiding citizen rights
Again, several duck calls were heard before the first shots were fired.
In Hamilton Ontario Canada the young and old are living in tents because it costs over $1,900 a month for a one bedroom apartment.
Lmfao chch news interviews all bums make the city look even worse 😂
Guessing you've never been to Jackson Square. Those are the least tweaked out people I've ever seen. 😂
None of the people are "bums"
@k.s.333 sorry " Rough " looking,
Downtown kind of people lol 😆 better
Noir Hommes
Damn duck hunters again!
First of all this is Canada and as far as I know Canada has no gun violence so this MUST be a bogus story aya.
Hey we want to grow our nation for some reason so this is what we get. Why can’t we just stay a small country? I don’t get it
Don't sell drugs

It's becoming a cannuck habit but who's going to complain for saving money on future lengthy expensive prosecution after all?... As an elder i shouldn't care and i've pulled the TV-cable plug exactly for that reason anyway: because hollywoodian editorialism appears to inspire a culture of monsters filling our imagination.
Except now the socio-toxic intensity went through the roof, so if we weren't so busy distracting ourselves by delegating powers to self-serving 3rd-party predatory politi¢ian$ maybe we'd have expected there would be a price to pay collectively, leaving kids exposed to extreme content during all of their childhood!
Shame! Despite investment in education we managed to underestimate the power of image while politi¢ian$ are getting ready to attack free speech as a one-fits-them-all solution...
Hamilton voted for this so too bad
Oh wow no way maybe cops should walk the beat they get paid to keep us safe not sit in a car they want the pay cheque start making them walk the beat PATHETIC how many lifes could be saved if just a handful of cops would get up and stop being lazy
Yeah, you understand nothing about vaccines or modern law enforcement.
Why... 12 rounds implies either the magazine was illegal! Or the pewpew(s) used were. *shrug* We'll never know
Downtown Hamilton what a dump it has become so sad
Only getting worse.
You get what you vote for
@@bobdobalina8910 indeed
The HSBC near Jackson Square is mysterious
Sorry to tell you, the entire country has become a dump. Our government has their own agenda.
"Feeling Safe" and BEING SAFE are 2 completely different things. we all know what needs to be done to fight this crime wave in Canada. JAIL NOT BAIL.
What’s causing the crime? I think it’s poverty quite clearly. Tech hubs didn’t want me because they want what they call “sweet young exploited staff”. They do party a little too much *drinks coffee at 330am*

Was the fire arm registered???
This is so sad. I know who was shot and died😢
Diversity
Disgusting
This guy describes the area like it was his first time in Hamilton. Apparently he wasn't even familiar with the Ellen Fairclough Building (who she was) what operates out of that building, Hamilton Place (use corporate naming rights if you like) and the Art Gallery Of Hamilton. If anything he comes off as a tourist not sure where to ask the Uber driver to pick him up.
I was here, I live 2 blocks away..
Diocheese cheese pizza all over this
No description of the victim or shooters…gee I wonder why… I hate the mainstream media!

The man that died was white I know who died. I don't know who shot him
@@brettlessard2532The guy that died was white so stop spreading information if you don't know what's going on
The victim was white

You know it’s bad when people are getting killed in broad daylight in downtown Hamilton
The city has been trying to “rejuvenate” the downtown area for 40 yrs, give it a rest
elhamdülillah
Those dang deer hunters with thier legally owned guns strike again .
