Like Toronto
other Canadian cities
Ottawa has its share
no neighborhood
affluent or otherwise
immune

Even a wedding
holds no sacred meaning
to the law of the gang
family and friends
milling about in parking lot
before heading into the hall

50 rounds fired
by a single gunman
two men killed
from Toronto
six others wounded
two of them from the states
all but one released from hospital
according to police

as it turns out
none of those hit
the intended target

search for a suspect
investigation continues
