Investigations into shootings at the U.S. Consulate and multiple Jewish schools and synagogues in Toronto have led to three arrests and highlight a pattern of young people being paid as guns for hire, the city’s police chief says.

Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw told reporters at a June 16 press conference that two guns seized during raids last week have been linked to at least 27 shooting incidents across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
