How to stop the violence

This past summer, Toronto had an unprecedented heat wave, and an unprecedented number of shooting deaths.

I think I have the solution.

Provide free air conditioning in all the apartments housing at-risk individuals.

This will serve the dual purpose of soothing hot tempers (it's amazing how much a hot, sticky, sleepless night can put one in a bad temper) and making the thought of hanging around outside (which various authorities peg as part of the problem, although I'm not sure I agree) less tempting.
