Flying bullets put spotlight on Toronto's short-term rental 'ghost hotels'

A shooting this week was just the most dramatic disturbance associated with short lets by companies including Airbnb

The first bang, which woke Lucas Timmons up, sounded like a slamming door. The second, followed by shattering of glass, got him out of bed.

Blearily inspecting his Toronto condo, Timmons found broken glass. A hole was punched through a framed photo across the room. On the ground was a bullet, splayed open on impact.
