Toronto police say gun-for-hire networks linked to US Consulate shooting
Police in Canada said Tuesday they have linked multiple shootings, including at the U.S. Consulate in Toronto in March, to “multilayered” gun-for-hire networks that have also targeted synagogues in the city. Toronto police Chief Myron Demkiw told a news conference that young adults are being recruited through encrypted messages and paid by the networks to carry out the shootings and have to film them to get paid. A veteran police officer was killed last week in a raid related to investigation of the shooting.
