From The Globe and Mail
Examples of violent incidents involving Toronto public school students:
February, 2006 - A high-school student was in a laneway behind the school passing a rifle back and forth with another student. Shots were fired into a window at the back of a house.
February, 2006 - Two female secondary-school students were in a conflict over a boy. One girl brought a knife to school and used it to threaten the other girl. Police investigated and cautioned the girl with the knife. The school issued a 20-day suspension.
April, 2006 - Five secondary-school students robbed another student of his MP3 player at the back of the school. The victim was searched for money but only had 25 cents in his wallet, which the suspects took. All five students were arrested and charged with robbery.
September, 2006 - A male secondary-school teacher entered the staff washroom and caught two students engaged in a sex act. Both students were taken to the office and the administration called the police. Even though the sex act was determined to be consensual, criminal charges were laid against the male student because of the age of the female. The school was to discipline the female student.
March, 2007 - A male student at a high school tried to drag a female student into the washroom to perform fellatio. She broke free and ran to the principal. When arresting the male, police found 10 dime bags of marijuana.
May, 2007 - A student brought a BB gun to school and shot at two students. The student was charged by police.
September, 2007 - Several boys were allegedly involved in the sexual initiation of a female high-school student, who told a teacher about the incident. Police are investigating.

this sounds tame compared to the things I saw in school:
grade 9 first day: kid gets a piece of his scalp chopped off by a machete
grade 9 Halloween: a riot in the back streets someone gets beaten down by a mob of kids. shots fired at the scene.
grade 9 spring: fight breaks out in the hallway between to groups of kids one is choked from behind till he loses consciousness and hits his head on the floor.
grade 10 school dance: fight breaks out in the dance then afterwards at the pizza/plaza shots fired shattering all the store windows someone is hit suffering minor injuries
grade 10 around spring: kid is beaten with a weapon made in shop class head and face is left bloody and swollen.
grade 10 close to summer: kid is beaten up then returns after school with gang of kids who are armed shots fired into a crowd someone is hit receiving serious injuries. a chase ensues by a section of kids in a car flashing another gun. another group of kids fire their twelve gage from across the street chasing the first group of kids who jump on a ttc bus without paying a fair trying hard to concile a sniper rifle.
grade 11: kid is beaten up then stumbles into the office and losses conciousness
grade 12: youth is beaten up outside of the office, tries to run into the office but someone grabs his arm while someone else kicks the heavy door on his face causing the youth to loose consciousness in the office.
there are more things I heard about and outside of school is where the worst stuff happened. I thank god that I didn't see anyone killed I was lucky to be away from those incedents.
