Just “hide and comply” and maybe the armed intruders invading your house will not hurt you or your family. 

That’s York Regional Police Chief Jim MacSween’s recommendation to the public following the gutless murder of 46-year-old dad, Abdul Aleem Farooqi. 

Easy for him to say. It wasn’t MacSween who had masked bandits pointing a gun at his four-year-old daughter. 

“In the unlikely event that you find yourself a victim of a home invasion, we are urging citizens not take matters into their own hands,” the chief said at a news conference Wednesday. “While we don’t want homeowners to feel powerless, we urge you to call 911 and do everything you can to keep yourself and loved ones safe until police arrive and be the best witness possible.”
