I was just talking to my fiance (who works at Nortel) and some dude just blasted himself in the head on the front lawn of Nortel. Apperently it was a botched robbery nearby and cops cornered him at Nortel…and he panicked. Nortel is under lockdown and no one is allowed to leave yet. Welcome to Brampton. ---

I don’t see anything big on Canoe.ca or Google News. What kind of ‘blasted’ and ‘head’ are we talkin about here? ---

Yea I heard about this too. I went to lunch at the Wendy’s beside the place and there was a whole bunch of cops walking around. I had missed all the action though. If you call 4:15 a lunch. And is Nortel owned by Rogers now? Or has Rogers just bought the building? ---

Rogers bought the building. Nortel is moving to office space on the 427 south.
