What’s going on around the Bridle Path? r/toronto

submitted 2 hours ago by u/dumpsteraccoon

Hey does anyone know what’s going on around the Bridle Path? I was waiting for my bus by the Glendon campus and there was a crazy amount of cops?

u/416scannerjunkie412 points 2 hours ago

I heard there was a shooting?

u/parkdaleparker355 points 2 hours ago

Yeah that’s what they’re saying on the police scanner

u/annexrat201 points 2 hours ago

Wait what scanner website do you use?

u/416scannerjunkie489 points 1 hour ago

Apparently it was a shooting at Jay McCarol’s mansion?? I haven’t seen any info yet on who was shot or who did the shooting though

u/throwawayslap420288 points 1 hour ago

Maybe it was Will Smith

u/indie88sucks310 points 1 hour ago

I mean could have been anyone honestly. Half of Toronto hates that guy

u/torontopride1999267 points 1 hour ago

What are you on about?? He’s done so much for the city. It’s been so cool to see someone from Toronto get so popular and actually STAY here

u/indie88sucks352 points 1 hour ago

I mean technically he’s from Mississauga but I see your point. I just hate that god forsaken song. The guy had one hit and now I can’t listen to Indie88 without hearing his shit. THE GUY IS NOT AN INDIE ARTIST. Stay on Virgin Radio where you belong

u/throwawayslap420190 points 1 hour ago

I mean he was just on Roz and Mocha so I guess he’s listening to you.

u/flighttoord277 points 1 hour ago

Oh shit wait I have Jay McCarol tickets for Chicago?? Do you think the show might get cancelled?

u/416scannerjunkie468 points 1 hour ago

Someone may have been shot is that seriously your concern?

u/flighttoord226 points 1 hour ago

The tickets were expensive and I have a flight booked. Sorry for asking a fucking question

u/emo_kid12711 points 1 hour ago

GUYS my dad’s a paramedic and apparently it was one of Jay’s bandmates who got shot. It’s LIKE BAD bad. My dad was being super cagey but I think he might be dead???

u/queenwestlurker544 points 1 hour ago

Oh my god which one… does he know? Do you have proof?

u/emo_kid12603 points 1 hour ago

Apparently it’s the hot one

u/queenwestlurker832 points 1 hour ago

Wait… Luke???

u/emo_kid12921 points 1 hour ago

Maybe… my dad said he was shot in the face

u/queenwestlurker487 points 1 hour ago

Fuck that’s horrible… I wonder who did it?? Those houses have so much security

u/blogto_journalist-34 points 1 hour ago

Hi I’m a reporter from BlogTO. If you’re able to send me a DM I would love to talk with you about any information you have

u/416scannerjunkie1.4k points 1 hour ago

Get the fuck out of here BlogTO

u/annexrat1.1k points 1 hour ago

Leeches

u/backstageburner658 points 59 minutes ago

Wait okay I was backstage at the Budweiser Stage show yesterday and there was this guy who absolutely flipped out at Jay. He kept going on about how he was an old friend and how Jay had to remember him and that they had a band together. Security had to throw him out and it was really dramatic. The guy went sprinting off after and Jay disappeared for a bit. He seemed really shaken. What if that guy broke into Jay’s home and was the one who shot the guy?

u/torontopride1999201 points 58 minutes ago

That’s unhinged and has absolutely no basis. You shouldn’t speculate like that

u/annexrat389 points 58 minutes ago

Get a life and stop making up wild theories

u/libertyvillageguy244 points 57 minutes ago

Jay is famous, I’m sure he has lots of crazy fans. That doesn’t mean some guy got kicked out and then went and shot someone

TPS just confirmed Jay McCarol shot Luke Lalonde??? r/toronto

submitted 38 minutes ago by u/dumpsteraccoon

Oh… my… god. Look what the police just tweeted
“Jay McCarol suspected of shooting and killing bandmate Luke Lalonde”
Holy shit…
I mean he had to be high or something right? Who just goes and shoots their bandmate randomly?
Why does he even have a gun???

u/cinephileto1.9k points 37 minutes ago

Didn’t he say on Last Meals that he bought a gun from one of the Bond movies and keeps it in his trailer for luck

u/letterboxing1.2k points 36 minutes ago

Completely unrelated but I’m so proud of Josh. The quality of guests he gets now is insane. To have Jay McCarol on??? Wild

u/martywatch980 points 35 minutes ago

Whatttt but Jay seemed so nice in his Hot Ones interview

u/yyzconcertgoer1.4k points 34 minutes ago

Well this is really going to ruin the world tour

u/dontcancelpls820 points 33 minutes ago

If he didn’t want to go on tour there were probably easier ways

u/axolotel12760 points 32 minutes ago

This is really going to fuck with Canada’s reputation. How can we be the nice guys when our biggest star is going around shooting people in the head

Did anyone else just see Jay McCarol at Queen & Spadina??? r/toronto

submitted 24 minutes ago by u/sidewalkghost

Okay I feel insane typing this but I swear to god I just saw Jay McCarol at Queen and Spadina???
Like in an RV???
I was crossing the street and there was this shitty looking RV stopped at the light and I looked in and it was literally him in the driver’s seat. He had a baseball cap but it was 100% him.
Am I losing it or has anyone else seen this???

143 comments

u/brickandmortar1.2k points 24 minutes ago

Wait WHAT???
Isn’t he like… wanted???

u/sidewalkghost

YES that’s why I’m freaking out. Like why is he just sitting at a red light downtown???

u/greenjuiceapologist918 points 23 minutes ago

No way he’s just casually driving around Queen st lmao

u/parkdaleparker857 points 22 minutes ago

Honestly that man has always had insane main character energy so this tracks

u/lattefoamqueen711 points 22 minutes ago

What kind of RV??

u/sidewalkghost

Like old and beige?? Kind of beat up looking. Not like a nice tour bus or anything

u/lattefoamqueen689 points 21 minutes ago

That actually makes it more believable somehow

u/notbuyingthislol640 points 21 minutes ago

This is how misinformation spreads. You saw a guy in a jays cap downtown. That is like 40% of the city

u/annexrat522 points 21 minutes ago

No literally

u/sidewalkghost

I KNOW what I saw 😭

u/filmkid1998591 points 20 minutes ago

Wait wouldn’t his tour bus be in the city?? Could it be that???

u/cinephileto447 points 20 minutes ago

Yeah but a tour bus is not the same as an RV just cruising down Queen

u/somethingclever1231.0k points 19 minutes ago

Imagine being on the run for murder and getting stuck behind the Queen streetcar

u/spadina_streetcar844 points 19 minutes ago

He would never escape

u/ethicsoptional503 points 18 minutes ago

There is absolutely no way TPS hasn’t locked down every exit out of the city. He’s not just vibing at Queen and Spadina

u/libertyvillageguy698 points 18 minutes ago

You have way too much faith in TPS

u/throwaway449201472 points 17 minutes ago

Did you take a picture??

u/sidewalkghost

NO I PANICKED

u/throwaway449201611 points 17 minutes ago

This is why no one will believe you 😭

u/emo_kid12802 points 16 minutes ago

My dad just got home from shift and said they’re still looking for him so… this is either fake or he’s literally just driving around

u/416scannerjunkie884 points 15 minutes ago

Police scanner is still super active downtown

u/sidewalkghost

WAIT okay I just walked past again and the RV is gone

u/backstageburner526 points 13 minutes ago

If this turns out to be real this is actually insane. Like he didn’t even try to leave the city???

u/indie88sucks731 points 12 minutes ago

He’s probably writing a new album about it

u/letterboxdlord667 points 12 minutes ago

“Never Come Down (From this RV Cause I'll Get Arrested for Murder)”

u/midnightscrolling588 points 11 minutes ago

This whole situation feels fake. Like why does every update make it worse

submitted 7 minutes ago by u/doomscrollhabit

Turn on CP24 RIGHT NOW
There is a guy standing at the very top of the CN Tower??? Like not the edgewalk, I mean the actual top. There’s a helicopter circling him.
He’s wearing a beige suit jacket, ripped jeans, and a fedora???

u/pixelatedmind1.8k points 7 minutes ago

I’m watching this right now this cannot be real

u/espressoyourself1.5k points 7 minutes ago

HOW did he even get up there???

u/urbanlegend4201.3k points 7 minutes ago

More importantly WHY is he dressed like that

u/lattefoamqueen1.4k points 6 minutes ago

The helicopter just zoomed in and he has like… an orange cord???

u/cinephileto1.2k points 6 minutes ago

It literally looks like an extension cord

u/greenjuiceapologist1.5k points 6 minutes ago

WAIT he’s trying to wrap it around the top??

u/brickandmortar1.7k points 6 minutes ago

There is no way I’m watching a man lasso the CN Tower right now

u/somethingclever1231.1k points 5 minutes ago

This feels like some kind of performance art stunt

u/annexrat1.6k points 5 minutes ago

until he falls and then it very much is not

u/throwaway4492011.0k points 5 minutes ago

This has to be connected to the Jay thing right?? There’s no way Toronto just has TWO insane things happening in one day

u/annexrat1.4k points 5 minutes ago

My brain literally cannot process more than one crisis at a time

u/lattefoamqueen1.2k points 4 minutes ago

He almost dropped it omg

u/filmkid19982.1k points 4 minutes ago

Why is he dressed like a redditor 😭 which one of you is this

u/notbuyingthislol1.0k points 4 minutes ago

This is staged. I don’t care. There is no way this is real life

u/backstageburner1.2k points 4 minutes ago

CP24 is just silently filming this like??? say something???

u/doomscrollhabit

WAIT
He got it around something I think??

u/pixelatedmind1.5k points 3 minutes ago

WHAT IS HE DOING

u/espressoyourself1.4k points 3 minutes ago

IS HE CLIPPING IT THERE?

u/sidewalkghost2.0k points 2 minutes ago

HE JUST STEPPED OFF

u/doomscrollhabit

OH MY GOD
HE JUMPED

u/lattefoamqueen2.4k points 2 minutes ago

THE PARACHUTE OPENED

u/filmkid19982.6k points 2 minutes ago

NO FUCKING WAY

u/spadina_streetcar1.6k points 2 minutes ago

Where is he going

u/416scannerjunkie2.2k points 2 minutes ago

Scanner just said units heading toward downtown core

u/annexrat2.0k points 2 minutes ago

NOT AGAIN

u/midnightscrolling1.4k points 1 minute ago

Promo stunt for GTA VI… I’m calling it now

u/parkdaleparker1.7k points 1 minute ago

If he lands near Queen & Spadina I’m actually done

u/throwaway4492011.9k points 1 minute ago

WAIT THEY JUST SAID HE LANDED

u/pixelatedmind2.0k points 1 minute ago

LANDED WHERE

u/416scannerjunkie3.4k points moments ago

HE LANDED ON A STREETCAR

u/annexrat2.9k points moments ago

NO

u/416scannerjunkie4.1k points moments ago

Queen and Spadina

u/spadina_streetcar3.8k points moments ago

ARE YOU KIDDING

u/lattefoamqueen3.2k points moments ago

This city is not real

u/cinephileto2.8k points moments ago

He parachuted off the CN Tower and landed on a streetcar…

u/doomscrollhabit

I don’t even know what to say anymore
