at the barbecue

(AP) TORONTO – A reckless exchange of gunfire at a crowded outdoor party in Toronto killed two young people late Monday night at a barbecue in the city’s east end. At least 19 others, including an infant, were injured after bullets from more than one gun were sprayed into the crowd of more than 200 people. “It is the most serious crime of its kind that has ever taken place in the city of Toronto,” said Police Chief Bill Blair. Police made multiple appeals for 영월출장만남 witnesses to contact them as they began to pull together descriptions for what appeared to be multiple shooters.. Police said they had one “person of interest” in custody and were looking for other suspects. The incident took place before 11 p.m. at the barbecue. “An altercation broke out among some individuals and there was an exchange of gunfire.

(AP) LONDON – Residents of a London apartment tower went to court Monday in a bid to stop their rooftop being used as a missile base during the Olympic Games, saying the unprecedented deployment could make the building a terrorist target. The British military plans to deploy surface-to-air missiles at six sites around London as part of a vast security operation for the July 27-Aug. 12 games. But residents of the 17-story Fred Wigg Tower in Leytonstone, east London, say they were not consulted about the decision. The judge’s decision is expected to be announced Tuesday morning.

But what if “Potter” hadn’t come calling? In some fantasy world, Radcliffe might be a low-level go-fer on movie sets. Watson could be a nobody auditioning for stage plays. Tom Felton might be noodling around as a musician. And Rupert Grint might be selling ice cream on the street. With one of Hollywood’s biggest film franchises now behind them, the young stars pondered what they might be doing if the acting thing hadn’t worked out. Review: “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2″Pictures: The New York premiereSpecial section: “Harry Potter” through the years Radcliffe: An 11-year-old when picked for the title role of the “Harry Potter” franchise, Radcliffe figures that since his parents worked in the arts – his mother as a casting director, his father as a literary agent – he would have ended up in show business.
