What the bloody hell?!?! Words fail me...

They have to catch this guy…

God bless his soul . That is heartbreaking

Very unfortunate and tragic. The culprit has to be tracked down and punished. More safety measures are required for all people in Society from such crimes. Gun control has to be strictly followed.

RIP 🙏🏼 very sad

Such thing are beginning. So much immigration without ensuring proper housing, food and Healthcare services.Big cities are deemed to become the crime areasIt might not be greatly visible now but will be worse in coming 5-10 years. Homelessness all around, you go any street in TO

Usual suspect

My Upmost Condolences To The Family

So heartbreaking , Prayers for his soul and heartfelt condolences to his family 🙏💐 RIP Kartik .. targeted shooting in this short period after arrival or hate crime ? something is fishy in this news ..tell me for whom Canada is safe

This is so heartbreaking. Many I'm sure will want answers to this. An innocent person gone just like that. Find this lowlife, toss the key away.

Too saad to hear and bad to bear... May his soul rest in peace

RIP

My heart aches for this family. My daughter is the same age and I cannot imagine.....I really feel strongly about laws needing to change....but it may not stop an evil person from doing harm to others. This person was obviously an evil hearted individual to have done this.

Toronto needs to have cameras throughout the city. Cameras should me monitored and recorded 24x7. Police needs to be present in civilian outfits paying attention.

Me last week in Siberia with my fellow friend Sasha in Siberian wilderness.I finish my training there oxa von hass great trainer

Our heart felt condolences and prayers to kartik family members.May his soul Rest In Peace.🙏🙏

So sad RIP.... Cameras are everywhere for speed traps & hwy traffic but never enough cameras to help prevent stop or solve crime. Guns are flowing in quite easily. Great Job Tory what is your solution. Toronto is riddled with bullets everyday 🤷🏽‍♀️

Our heart felt condolences and prayers to kartik family members.May his soul Rest In Peace. I lost my young brother, and recently I lost my father.. I know the feeling, Waheguru waheguru ji

Shot 6-7 times 🤔🤔🤔🤔that is truly odd.....really a sad story seeing he just came to Canada. Hope they will get closure.

Time to wake up for Toronto Police.

Ban on legal guns will not reverse the crime wave. Britain had the strictest gun law in Europe and the homicide rate is one of the highest.

Karthik, Om shanthi. You left so early!!

Hope fordnation increase budget for police. RIP.

So sorry to hear. Being a father i understand the pain family going through. RIP gentlemen. 🙏

Our hearts are broken 💔with such a senseless loss. We send our heartfelt sympathies to the Kartik family. 🙏

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Don't send any STUDENTS NOW to all those countries where BHARATIYA DON'T HAVE SECURITY(INDIA WILL BE SOON BHARAT SO NO MORE INDIAN ....BHARAT)

Here not just Sympathy and condolences are required but need to search SUSPECTS and Hang till death or LIFE TIME PRISON how come some one go around with GUN This is not USA and don't make! THIS IS CANADA TAKE ACTION AND GIVE JUSTICE TO HIS FAMILY!

Our heart felt condolences and prayers to Kartik family members .May his soul Rest In Peace . The world is turning into a battlefield where innocent people are been targeted . There should be ban on Guns and all that is a threat to the society. God please save this world

Absolutely devastating. My condolences for the family for this tragedy. 💔

My condolences to the family I know the feeling, My 20 year great nephew was out celebrating his 20 birthday and was shot dead. This world has become so cruel.

RIP

Very sad

May God give enough strength to the bereaved family to bear the irreparable loss. May the departed soul rest in peace. 🙏🏼
