Toronto police have released surveillance video and are appealing for the public's help in an attempted murder investigation in which shots were fired through the window of a North York restaurant.

And...

One of the suspects is described as being...
Well, I don't want to spoil the surprise.

And...
The RCMP charged Ayanle Hassan Ali, with three counts of attempted murder, two counts of assault causing bodily harm, three counts of assault using a weapon and one count of carrying a weapon dangerous to the public, all for the benefit of a terrorist organization.

Court documents identified the victims of the attack as Ryan Kong, Jesus Castillo and Tracy Ann Gerhardt.
Just part of our vibrant, diverse community.

UPDATE: BLM surfaces TO CASTIGATE TORONTO COPS...
Pascale Diverlus, co-founder of Black Lives Matter Toronto said, "It's gross that even in a space like that we can be so over-policed and something that is supposed to be so celebratory for a lot of us is actually very triggering to see cops."
Oh, Pascale... the very thought...
