Firstly, this happened shockingly close to where I grew up (maybe a few miles). My high school is actually only a few blocks away and I've been to the park mentioned in the article numerous times.
Secondly, I love that the article quotes from a police officer in French without offering translation (you don't need a translation if you're a Montrealer)... and the police officer's French even includes English slang (that's awesome!)
Lastly, it's sad how much of a downturn the area's taken.
