Data from Statistics Canada show there was an increase in homicides in 2021 and nearly one-quarter of the killings were connected to gangs.
There were 788 homicides in the country last year — up three per cent from 2020 — and 184 of those were gang related.
It marks the highest rate of gang-related homicides since 2005.
The agency says firearms were the most common weapon used in homicides.
Imagine! Gangs of legal gun owners!
