Kept In The Dark

Like mushrooms, the citizens of Brantford are being kept in the dark about the recent shooting in downtown Brantford. All that has been released publicly is that about six shots were fired and several struck a truck at the intersection of Queen and Dalhousie Streets injuring a passenger. Several also lodged in nearby stores. Unanswered is: was the truck and it's passengers the target? who is the injured person? was he a local citizen?were the police somehow involved? were drugs involved? or natives? what is known about the shooter or shooters?were they on foot or in another vehicle? where does the investigation stand? and the list goes on....

Why all the secrecy? If this was a shooting in any other community The Expositor would carry full details including the names of any victims. But when it happens practically on it's doorstep? Silence.
