Six children were home when Toronto police officers conducting a search warrant found a handgun inside a child’s crib, cocked back and fully loaded.
of the .45-calibre handgun on a pink mattress inside the crib, next to a stuffed animal and a pile of clothes. Eight bullets were inside the magazine, with one in the chamber.
“It would take very little contact to set a firearm like that off,” Det. Sgt. Andrew Steinwall told CTV Toronto. The disturbing discovery was made Wednesday as officers executed a search warrant in Scarborough’s Malvern neighbourhood. The children inside the home were between the ages of two and 14 and had access to the bedroom where the loaded gun was located, police said. The warrant was part of an investigation into three men believed to be in possession of a gun.“We’re dealing with the most vulnerable people in the communities right now – children. And if they have access or if they somehow inadvertently come into contact with a firearm like that, the outcome could be tragic,” Steinwall said.
