Suspect in T.O. subway shooting surrenders

A 21-year-old man sought in connection with the January 22 2009 shooting at Toronto's Osgoode subway station has turned himself into police.

Curt John, 21, of no fixed address, is due in court Monday at 10 a.m. to face 12 charges, including attempted murder.

Police allege John fired three shots on the Osgoode subway platform in a Jan. 22 incident, injuring a 19-year-old man in his upper leg and abdomen.

John surrendered Sunday night, turning himself in at a police station in North York. Police say he was accompanied by his lawyer.

John and the shooting victim had allegedly been squabbling on and off the day of the shooting. Prior to the shooting, the two men had been on a bus which travelled from near Jane Street and Finch Avenue to the Downsview subway.

The victim was released from hospital the next day.

Last Thursday, police identified John at a news conference as a suspect in the case.

Police also allege that John:

- committed a robbery/car jacking while he was armed with a firearm on Jan. 28, 2009

- assaulted and robbed a woman on Nov. 27, 2008

None of the allegations against Curt John have been proven in a court of law, and for this reason, he should be considered innocent, until proven otherwise in a court of law.
