Shots fired at Woodside Square Cinemas in Scarborough

Toronto police were called to a cinema in Scarborough early Sunday morning after receiving reports of gunfire.

Officers arrived at the Woodside Square Cinemas near Sandhurst Circle and McCowan Road just before 6:00 a.m.

Upon arrival, police located evidence of gunfire, but say no patrons were inside the theatre at the time of the shooting as it was closed.

The Woodside Square Cinemas is a theatre that primarily showcases Bollywood movies in Hindi and Tamil, with some in English.

Earlier this month, the same theatre was evacuated after some lit a package on fire and just last week Molotov cocktails were thrown at a similar movie theatre in Richmond Hill.

It’s unclear if Sunday’s shooting is connected to an ongoing turf war within the South Asian film industry.
