This doesnt pertain to the Military whatsoever, but I found it interesting. If any of you were wondering what my neighborhood looks like, (more specifically, what my neighbors house got into this morning) this is for you. We woke up this morning at around 5:30ish to find our street cordoned off, with ETF and police swarming. there was some panic at one point, because the suspect apparently fled through a house, and if he had of crossed the ravine (which it looks like he was aiming at), he would have ended up hopping my backyard fence. I never managed to hear the gunshots mind you...

York Regional police shot one man dead and wounded a second after two bandits forced their way into a fashionable Thornhill home early today.
The dead man lay slumped in the passenger seat of a white pickup truck that came to rest on the lawn of a home across the street on Steele Valley Rd., in the Bayview and Steeles Ave. area of Markham.
The white pickup is leased by the company of the man who was one of the victims of the home invasion.
The wounded suspect fled on foot and was apprehended shortly after 8 a.m. on the rooftop of a home on Robinter Dr.
Police say the suspect kicked in the front door of the home, where three young people between the ages of 8 and 14 were home alone, ran to the second floor and broke a window leading out to the flat roof. Police were alerted by a 911 call from one of the young people in the house.
Back at the scene of the original home invasion, neighbours said they heard the sound of gunshots at about 5:30 a.m.
"It sounded like thunder," said John McMillan, who has lived in the neighbourhood for 40 years, directly across from the home invasion scene.
Insp. Tom Carrique said two adults and their teenage son were in the home at the time of the robbery.
The adults were being treated in hospital for minor injuries. Their son was being interviewed by police at a nearby police division.
The province's Special Investigations Unit, which probes the circumstances when police are involved in fatalities, has taken over the investigation.
