Reporting on guns and gun violence in Toronto is hard. Government definitely doesn't want to talk to journalists, and victims are either too scared, too busy or too traumatized to share their experiences because most reporting done on their communities is sensational and focused only on the violence, not its causes.

There are resources available if you or someone you know has experienced gun violence and needs help.
