Daytime shooting in Kelonwa, 5 injured, 1 dead
http://www.calgaryherald.com/Jonatha...rald+-+News%29
Quote:
Gangster Jonathan Bacon is dead after being shot during a brazen daylight attack outside the Lake City Casino in Kelowna, The Province has learned.
Six people, including Bacon, were rushed to Kelowna General Hospital around 3 p.m. Sunday after at least one gunman opened fire on a vehicle in the casino parking lot.
One of the injured men is Larry Amero, a full-patch Hell’s Angels member from White Rock. As of Sunday evening, Amero was clinging to life, a senior police officer told The Province.
It appears the Red Scorpions and Hells Angels were meeting in the area. Police do not know who the shooter is yet but fear a possible all-out gang retaliation war.

Looks like Kelowna and the HA may be involved in a gang war now.

I was staying at the Delta Grand Okanagan for business until last night. I'm pretty sure that's the casino that's beside the hotel.
If I was still there during that shooting, that may have turned into one of the worst business trips I've been on. A couple nights before there was a huge thunderstorm in Kelowna and that led to a fire in the hotel. We all had to evacuate at around 11:00pm.

I just assumed it was. I don't know of any other gangsters they would name really. Are they with the HA or the Red Scorpions mentioned in the article?

wow, one of Bacon's finalize gets killed. This will almost certainly lead to retaliation killings.
Just hope no innocent bystanders get hurt or killed in the process.

I tried, but the tears just won't come. You gotta lay in the bed you make. I hope no actual innocents get caught up in the violence, but I honestly wouldn't mind if these buffoons all off one another in some epic 80s warehouse gun battle.
