Two wounded when gun goes off in store By Gisele Winton Sarvis, Special to QMI Agency ORILLIA, Ont. - One man has life-threatening injuries while another has superficial wounds after being shot in the gun room of a sporting goods north of Orillia, Ont., Wednesday morning. Two men from Parry Sound, Ont., entered the Ellwood Epps Sporting Goods store on Highway 11 in Severn Bridge, Ont., at 10 a.m. Orillia Ontario Provincial Police said a 53-year-old customer placed a long gun on the counter in the store's gun room and it discharged. The bullet struck the man's 26-year-old companion in the stomach and a 66-year-old store employee suffered wounds to both arms. The 26-year-old man was transported by land ambulance and later by air ambulance to Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto with what police are calling serious, life-threatening injuries. The 66-year-old staff member was transported to Soldiers' Memorial Hospital in Orillia with minor injuries. The store, about 140 kilometres north of Toronto, is currently closed and the OPP continue to investigate. If you have that much to fight for, then you should be fighting. The sentiment that modern day ordinary Canadians do not need firearms for protection is pleasant but unrealistic. To discourage responsible deserving Canadians from possessing firearms for lawful self-defence and other legitimate purposes is to risk sacrificing them at the altar of political correctness." - Alberta Provincial Court Judge Demetrick    | ||
