Two men from London, aged 19 and 20, are each accused of seizing a vehicle with a firearm and failing to comply with a commitment. A 19-year-old London woman is accused of assaulting a peace officer and obstructing a peace officer. Court records show the woman is already facing charges of assault with a weapon for allegedly assaulting a man on October 15. All four defendants appeared in court on Tuesday, where the three men were remanded in custody and scheduled to appear in court on Thursday. The woman was released from custody and is scheduled to appear in court on June 8. This is the fifth shooting in London this year and the third in a series of public shootings this month. More recently, police officers called to a compound at 253 Taylor Street, southeast of Adelaide and Huron Streets, on April 19 found shell casings and minor property damage, police said. No one was injured. The incident occurred less than three weeks after a passenger in a vehicle driving on Highbury Avenue near Commissioners Road shot outside the vehicle window on April 2. Two 19-year-old women were accused of occupying a motor vehicle with a firearm. Last year, London police set up a special task force to respond to a wave of gunfire in the city. The most disbanded working group – made up of investigators, crime analysts and front-line officers – cost $ 287,166, according to a report presented to the police council last month.
