Toronto Police Service’s guns and gangs task force is leading the investigation into an early morning shooting on Saturday that injured five Muslim men in a strip-mall parking lot and the case is also being monitored by the hate crimes unit, a police spokesperson said.
Interim Police Chief James Ramer announced on Twitter on Saturday that the hate crimes unit had been “engaged,” but according to Constable Hopkinson, in cases like this the unit will not be an active participant in the investigation, which is being led by Detective Mandeep Parmar of the guns and gangs task force.
According to Yusuf Ingar of the Scarborough Muslim Association, some of the men had just completed evening prayers at nearby Scarborough Muslim Cultural Centre, about a 20-minute walk away.
Religion equals violence.
TorontoPolice can trample old women and beat women and children at a peaceful protest but call a shooting outside a mosque a 'random shooting'. And can't find anyone to apprehend. Go do your job instead of eating donuts!
Canada has more hate crimes against Muslims than other G7 nations. Why?
So you’re saying it was outside a mosque but TorStar issued a correction 8 hours ago saying it was not. Who’s lying?

Lmfao 'Police said they can’t say at this time if the victims were targeted because of their religious beliefs.' -If they were, it wasn't 'random.'
