A dozen people were injured in a shooting at an eastern Toronto pub in what police called a reckless act of violence by three men who entered the bar and fired randomly without warning.

Superintendent Paul MacIntyre of the Toronto Police Service said that authorities received numerous emergency calls reporting a shooting at the Piper Arms around 10:40 p.m. Friday.

A preliminary investigation determined that three males entered the pub and began shooting at customers, MacIntyre said during a news conference at the scene. There were no immediate arrests.

β€œOne male was armed with what appears to be an assault rifle, the other two males were armed with handguns, and they walked into the bar, they produced their guns and they opened fire indiscriminately on the people sitting inside,” MacIntyre said, adding that there were no fatalities.

I really hope we get a motive and background for this one. Police have been tight lipped about previous mass violence threats/events.

No security footage?

No traffic cams?

Nothing?

And Reckless, the police called it reckless? It's fucking attempted mass murder and/or terrorism.

This sounds like something out of a mafia movie.
