The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition that a GFL Environmental office building in Toronto was hit with a barrage of bullets overnight this week, extending the string of attacks on GFL-linked property, equipment and executive homes over the past four months.
The Globe's Robyn Doolittle and Tim Kiladze write that GFL staff arrived at a hauling yard on Thursday morning and found the glass front entrance shattered, with bullet holes in the front door's metal frame as well as in the front wall.
Police say 10 bullets were fired. Investigators are now trying to collect surveillance footage from the area to determine what time the incident occurred. No injuries were reported.
The shooting happened just weeks after the homes of two executives were hit by bullets in what police have described as a targeted attack. There has also been a series of suspected arson attacks against GFL properties and equipment in Ontario this summer.
Toronto police believe the latest shooting is connected to the attacks on the executives' homes, spokesman Nadine Ramadan said Friday. In October's initial reports of shootings it was not clear if they were isolated events, but further reporting has revealed a pattern of violence.
