Toronto police are investigating a series of shootings at Jewish-owned bakeries as suspected hate-motivated attacks. Gunfire struck multiple locations of the same bakery chain early Tuesday morning, causing damage but no injuries. Mayor Olivia Chow and Prime Minister Mark Carney condemned the violence, calling it an act of antisemitism. Police released an image of a suspect vehicle and said they are looking into a possible connection to a gun-for-hire network. The investigation is ongoing, and officers are increasing patrols in Jewish neighborhoods.
