Man's best friend averts Canadian gun massacre A wandering dog may have saved the lives of countless people, after leading a heavily armed gunman to abort a planned shooting spree in Toronto and turn himself in to police.
The man, in his 40s, from eastern New Brunswick province, drove to Toronto in a car packed with a shotgun, bolt action rifle, a semi-automatic weapon a machete and more than 6,000 rounds of ammunition.
After visiting a park in the west end of the city however, the man changed his mind and drove around until he found a police officer, she said Thursday.
The Toronto Star newspaper reported that it was a chance encounter with a dog that averted a potential massacre.
"He happens to be a pet lover and decided that if there was such a nice dog in the area the people were too nice and he wasn't going to carry out his plan, the paper quoted Detective Nick Ashley as saying.
"This could have been a very dangerous situation had his plan unfolded," said Ashley.
"It's scary how close it could have been. We have a dog to thank somewhere." |
