Toronto police say young "criminals for hire" behind US Consulate, synagogue shootings

Police say they believe young “criminals for hire” are behind dozens of shootings across Toronto, including one at the U.S. Consulate in March and others that involved synagogues. Two handguns seized during dawn raids last week could be connected to 27 separate shootings across the Greater Toronto Area, Toronto police Chief Myron Demkiw said Tuesday. One of those raids involved Const. Marc Pinizzotto, who died after being shot last Thursday. The 43-year-old emergency task force member was among the officers executing a search warrant at 15 Martha Eaton Way, an apartment building near Trethewey and Black Creek drives, at about 5:40 a.m. June 11.
