Gun blasts shatter wedding

Woman, 50, killed in suspected gang violence

A shooting at a Winnipeg wedding reception Saturday night that left a 50-year-old woman dead and two others injured appears to be linked to an unprecedented escalation of gang violence.Several justice sources told the Free Press the attack marks a dark new chapter in the city's criminal history -- especially since the three victims appear to be innocents who were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

 

"It's getting to be like Compton out there," a source said Sunday, referring to the notorious crime-riddled city in Los Angeles county.

 

The cheerful celebration inside Club 13 turned into a nightmare when a gunman sprayed bullets into the Main Street club. The unknown attacker fired several shots towards a crowd of people through the back door, which was open to allow fresh air to get inside.

 

The reception was well underway at Club 13 at the intersection of Cathedral Avenue when Cheryl Robert, 50, was struck in the upper body as she and her common-law husband perused raffle prizes. Her partner was treated in hospital for injuries to his upper and lower body that were not life-threatening. A 31-year-old woman was also treated in hospital for non-life-threatening injuries to her upper body.

 

As of Sunday evening, no arrest had been made and police hadn't released the suspect's description.

 

"His actions were clearly a cowardly, violent act against innocent people here," Const. Jacqueline Chaput said.

 

Sources say several members of the Manitoba Warriors street gang were at the reception -- including a groomsman. The groomsman and several fellow gang associates fled the facility as the bullets started flying, but were later located and questioned by police.

 

"They were likely the targets," a justice source said.

 

The gunman is believed to have fled in a vehicle following the shooting.

 

Sources say associates of the Hells Angels were seen in the area at the time.

 

"Some bikers were seen in the area," Staff Sgt. Gordon Gold confirmed. "Coincidence or not, it's too early to tell."

 

Blocks away, at Main Street and Mountain Avenue, at least six police cruisers and members of the police dog unit drew their guns on a man and woman in a black Cadillac Escalade. The pair was handcuffed and put in police cars.

 

Gold couldn't confirm whether the two incidents are related.

 

"The Warriors have issues with several gangs, including the Hells Angels, the Indian Posse and the Native Syndicate," a source said. Earlier this year, long-simmering tensions between the Manitoba Warriors and Native Syndicate escalated into a riot at Stony Mountain Institution, which sent four inmates to hospital and damaged one of the penitentiary's living units.

 

Saturday's attack occurred at about 11:15 p.m. while Jason Rodgers and Angel Raven were celebrating with a blowout party that included a couple of hundred friends and family after they'd exchanged wedding vows.

 

After the shooting, Main Street was abuzz with a swarm of police cruisers. Officers taped off the area and loaded wedding guests onto transit buses so they could take statements from them.

 

The distraught bride stood outside the club before police escorted her past the yellow tape to a nearby cruiser.

 

Angel Raven's brother, Trevor, was standing next to Robert when she was shot. "We just heard the gunshots and she went down. Then the guy -- he got hit and he (slumped) over."

 

His wife, Sheila Sinclair, ran over to check the woman's pulse and said another guest administered CPR before paramedics arrived. Sinclair said a pool of blood was near the woman's head, sending guests fleeing for the front door.

 

"She still had her eyes open, she was just laying still -- there was so much blood. I got her blood on me," Sinclair said, pointing to the splotches of dried blood scattered on her T-shirt. "There was so much blood on her and the back of her head."

 

Robert's family rushed to Health Sciences Centre to say a tearful goodbye just before she died, sources said.

 

Stunned guest Gail Kwyeriga said she mistook the sound of gunfire for balloons popping, but ducked to the floor when she realized people were hurt.

 

"I just wanted to know where my kids were. We all huddled down on the floor."

 

A bullet grazed the back of another woman's leg. Sandra, who asked that her last name not be published, lifted up a pant leg to reveal a red hole.

 

"I felt it and I knew I was shot," she said. "It just burned. I was freaking out. I didn't know what was happening."

 

The wedding couple was barely acquainted with Robert, who was the common-law partner of a family friend.

 

A visibly upset Raven stressed that neither she nor her husband belong to any gang. She came to the defence of the groomsman alleged to be a member of the Manitoba Warriors.

 

"I don't care who he knows. He's a nice guy," she said. "He's the type of guy who would help someone, not hurt someone."

 

She called the gunman a coward for opening fire into a room filled with children -- including her own six-year-old daughter.

 

The rear door wasn't supposed to be open, according to a guest named Chris. "The place was a sauna. They popped open the back door to ventilate it."

 

Officers in the organized crime unit spent Sunday interviewing witnesses, contacts and sources.

u dont have to compare my city to some low life who beats babies.

 

yah we have a bad rep, but Surrey is blowing up right now, u watch, in the next 10 years, whalley will be the new yaletown. for real.

 

Located on the Fraser River south of Burnaby in the Lower Mainland area of Greater Vancouver, Surrey, BC is the second largest city in the province. It has a multicultural population of 395,000, with more than 30% of residents having been born in other countries, most notably those in southern Asia. The city was incorporated in 1879 and named for its resemblance to the county of Surrey in England. Since then, the population and prosperity of Surrey has exploded due to its proximity to Vancouver and is expected to outdistance it in population in the next few years, which has led the city to adopt the motto "the future lives here."

Passersby rush to aid woman hit by hatchet

 

By: Gabrielle Giroday

 

14/04/2009 1:00 AM |

 

PASSERSBY jumped in to help a woman fend off a hatchet-wielding girl on a downtown street Monday morning.

 

The Crosstown Civic Credit Union loans administration officer -- whom her boss declined to identify in an interview with the Free Press -- was on the last few steps of her walk from the bus stop to her work on Donald Street near St. Mary Avenue at about 8:30 a.m. when she was accosted by teenage girls.

 

They walked behind her and threatened to take her purse. In the scuffle, the woman was hit in the head with the hatchet. Two people passing by jumped in to help her as she struggled to take the hatchet away from one of the teenage girls.

 

One of the women's co-workers intervened. As well, a man driving by -- a reluctant hero who would only give his name as Gilbert -- pulled his car over and jumped into the fray.

 

"I didn't see the axe until I got there," said Gilbert. "I just went for the axe and grabbed it." He and the woman managed to wrench it from the girl's hands. The teen ran off through a parking lot with another girl who had been standing nearby. The victim was bleeding from a wound on the left side of her head, but she would not give up the struggle, said Gilbert, adding she was a real fighter in the face of what he called a purse snatching gone wrong. "(The co-worker) was yelling, 'Let it go.'"

 

Crosstown Civic branch manager Herb Neufeld, the woman's boss, said the entire incident occurred less than 10 metres from the front door of the credit union at 171 Donald St.

 

"It's a wake-up call to be alert to your surroundings," said Neufeld. "It's pretty shocking this kind of thing can happen in broad daylight."

 

The injured woman sat down on the credit union's steps and witnesses and co-workers called police and ambulance.

 

As she was loaded into the ambulance later, she waved at her helpers, Neufeld said. That and her resilience in the fight didn't surprise him.

 

"She is by her nature very feisty," he said.

 

A police spokesman said the woman was taken to hospital in stable condition.

 

He said six girls were in police custody later Monday in connection with the incident.

 

Division 11 detectives are investigating.

Baby stabbed in head

Second child to be attacked in complex

 

By: Kevin Rollason

 

20/09/2009 1:00 AM | Comments: 25

 

A baby was rushed to hospital from the Gilbert Park public housing complex Saturday after being stabbed in the head.

 

Winnipeg police, paramedics and firefighters rushed to Gilbert Avenue at about 4 p.m. after receiving calls from area residents who witnessed a man and a woman out on the street fighting over an injured baby.

 

A woman, who only said her name was Maranda, said she called 911 as soon as she saw the baby.

 

"I saw a lot of blood," she said, watching paramedics working on the child behind yellow police tape as dozens of area residents also looked on, many with their hands to their mouths and looking shocked.

 

"We saw a baby with a lot of blood... the baby's face was just covered. Police got here before the paramedics. The police had to pull them apart to get to the baby."

 

Another woman, who said her name was Aurelia, said "somebody kept saying the baby was stabbed somewhere in the head." She said she heard the baby was a boy about eight months old. "There was an awful lot of blood. They were fighting about who was going to hold her.

 

"I'm shaken up -- I've never seen anything like this."

 

The baby, stained with blood and lying still with eyes closed, was lifted off the grass of the boulevard on Gilbert Avenue and tenderly put onto a stretcher by a paramedic. The child was taken away by ambulance.

 

A woman and a bare-chested man wearing blood-stained pants, whom area residents identified as the parents of the child, were taken away in police cruisers. The man had been yelling about the baby being stabbed in the face, neighbours said.

 

Residents of the Manitoba Housing complex said the stabbing took place little more than 100 metres away from where a 14-month-old baby was beaten less than three weeks ago.

 

Vanessa Houle had scrapes and bruising, but no broken bones or serious injuries in that attack.

 

Police said a woman allegedly kidnapped Vanessa from her home on Sept. 1 at about 4:30 a.m., and began knocking the child's head on a sidewalk. Nikita Solange Eaglestick, 19, has been charged with attempted murder, abduction, and other charges in connection with Vanessa's case.

and the laugh of the day comes from the two brothers who decided to get into a knife fight in the middle of the street while the cops and news crews were hanging around:

Welcome to Detroit North: Visit Winnipeg at own risk

Gutter-level terrorism has Calgary couple's family hiding out

 

By MICHAEL PLATT

 

There's unclogging sewers, gutting chickens and cleaning up after elephants.

 

And then there are really brutal jobs, like working for the Detroit tourism authority: Imagine trying to lure visitors to a town rich in culture and history, yet tainted with a bloody reputation for violence and crime.

 

Winnipeg may never match Detroit's annual 300 murders or 10,000 assaults, but like the Motor City, it's fast becoming stained with the kind of reputation that scares visitors away.

 

Today, a Calgary family remains at the centre of a national news story, of the kind that leaves tourism and marketing executives weeping into their glossy brochures.

 

It started with a pool ball being smashed into a Calgary tourist's mouth, and has developed into a horrifying tale of uncontrolled crime, after the Calgarian's adult son was set on fire outside his Winnipeg home.

 

"I asked the mayor, why are you allowing these people to take over your city?" said Calgarian Susan Sanderson, whose stepson is now recovering in a hotel from first-and-second degree burns to his legs and torso.

 

"I told him, this has got to stop."

 

Susan has Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz's personal cell-phone number, because the mayor gave it to her following Round 1 of their holiday from hell, which still isn't over.

 

Last week, 58-year-old Ralph Sanderson ended up in the emergency room after a gang of youths attacked him outside his son's Winnipeg home, because he asked the teenage thugs to move away from the property.

 

A mouthful of stitches later, courtesy of a billiard-ball stuffed in a sock, Ralph and Susan were returning to their hotel when they discovered their truck had been stolen, along with a box of family photos.

 

Mayor Katz tried to make it right, offering to buy the battered and bewildered Calgarians dinner, but the Sandersons chose to go home instead, preferring to leave Winnipeg behind.

 

If it had ended there, Winnipeg might have escaped with a minor black-eye.

 

If only.

 

A gang of thugs, apparently the same group with the penchant for pool balls, returned to the scene of the earlier crime in the middle of the night, armed with lighter fluid.

 

It seems they were probably going to torch the house or garage, but they woke up Derek Sanderson with their noise. He confronted them, so they used the lighter fluid to set him ablaze, fleeing when police arrived.

 

And so Ralph returned to Winnipeg, and has since been staying with his injured son and his wife, along with their two daughters, in a hotel.

 

They're too scared to return home, in case the gang returns.

 

"We've got to get these guys off the street," Ralph Sanderson told the Winnipeg Sun yesterday.

 

"I fear for my family."

 

Indeed, Derek's wife went back to fetch some clean clothes, but was forced to flee after some punks with knives chased her car.

 

And so a Calgary grandfather and his Winnipeg family remain refugees, because no one is able to protect them from the crime and violence around their own home.

 

"They have to stay in a hotel for their own protection -- no one else is helping them," said Susan.

 

"It's obvious the city and the police aren't in control."

 

That Winnipeg's mayor hasn't ordered a 24-hour police watch on the neighbourhood, for the sake of appearances in a limelight of national attention, boggles the mind.

 

This is about more than one family and a few visitors being picked on -- it's about risking a multimillion-dollar tourism industry, because the police in your city can't handle a gang of young savages.

 

Already holding the record as the most violent city in Canada, Winnipeg's failure to deal with this ongoing epic of gutter-level terrorism will leave a lasting impression on the whole country.

 

When a family is forced to hole up in a hotel because the police can't protect them, the result is an image that all the glossy tourism brochures in the world can't change.

 

At least the hotel room is getting some use now. It'll soon be empty, if crime is allowed to overshadow everything else Winnipeg stands for, like history, culture and music.

 

Fear takes forever to fade -- just ask Detroit.

Winnipeg firearms incident ends with 6 in custody

'Where are these guys coming from?' victim wonders.

Last Updated: Thursday, September 24, 2009 | 5:59 PM CT

CBC News

 

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/manitoba/story/2009/09/24/mb-firearms-north-end-winnipeg.html

 

Six people were taken into custody Thursday morning in Winnipeg after police were called to a confrontation involving firearms in the North End.

 

Resident Dale Dubowitz said it all began when he heard two people attempting to break into his car on Redwood Avenue just after 2 a.m.

 

He chased them, but when he turned a corner, he ran into a group of people associated with the would-be thieves.

 

Dubowitz, who told CBC News he works as a hunting guide, went back into his house and retrieved bear mace and a machete he uses for work. After heading back outside, Dubowitz said one person in the group fired a gun in his direction.

 

"The other gentleman came walking into the yard [and] lifts up his shirt. He ... pulls out a gun and points it at me and pulls the trigger twice," Dubowitz said.

 

Dubowitz sprayed the bear mace in the direction of the group and ran back inside his house and called police.

 

The people outside then began banging on his door and kicking at it. They retreated to a nearby house when the police sirens got louder and closer, Dubowitz said.

 

They left just as the deadbolt and door frame were about to give way, he said. The door itself is dented with shoe imprints.

 

Dubowitz said he's bewildered by what's happening in his neighbourhood.

 

"I'm stuck in a gang war here," Dubowitz said. "Where are these guys coming from?"

 

Several police cruisers, including the tactical support team, and about a dozen uniformed officers were on the scene in the 800 block of Redwood Avenue between Arlington Street and Sinclair Street from about 3:30 a.m. until 8 a.m.

 

Traffic was rerouted away from the area as police could be heard calling into the Redwood Ave. house to which the six individuals had retreated with a loudspeaker, telling people inside the residence to come out and blasting a siren.

 

Roads were reopened to traffic shortly after 8 a.m. after the six individuals were taken into custody.

 

Neighbours rattled by police intervention

 

Carol Suzanski and her husband live a few doors down the street from the scene and were awoken by the commotion.

 

They went onto their back porch to see what was happening and walked into a cloud of bear mace, she said.

 

Shortly after, the tactical squad arrived and surrounded the house with the six individuals inside.

 

Several neighbours said the house is known to have a connection to street gangs and that there were teenagers hanging around the residence for several hours leading up to the incident.

 

Suzanski, who has a heart condition, said she and her husband were treated by paramedics, and her face is still swollen from the spray.

 

She saw Dubowitz being chased back to his house by some people who started throwing rocks at his truck.

 

Another woman, who didn't want her name used, said she went outside for a cigarette at about 6 a.m. and a police officer told her to get back into her home and shut her windows because there was someone with a gun on the street.

2nd incident at home in past week

 

Police said the house where the six individuals ended up is the same one officers visited last weekend after a teen who was shot in another location showed up there looking for help.

 

The 17-year-old boy was shot in Winnipeg's West Alexander neighbourhood on Saturday night. According to police, the teen was sitting in a car when another vehicle with several people pulled up.

 

The teen was assaulted before he managed to speed off. But as he was leaving the scene, several shots were fired at him, striking him in the upper body.

 

The victim drove to a residence in the 600 block of Pritchard Avenue and then to the residence on Redwood Avenue, police said.

 

Police were called to the Redwood home and found the teen, who was taken to hospital.
