Toronto Homicides in 2007

In 2005, the so-called 'Year of the Gun,' Toronto recorded 80 homicides - making it one of the worst years ever for violent crime in the city. But in 2007 Toronto has matched that record: as of Dec. 2, so far there have been 80 killings.

40 of the murders were shootings, 22 were stabbings, and 14 were caused by trauma (blunt force). The cause of four murders was either unknown or unreleased.

This interactive map shows where and when the homicides took place.
