June 18 (UPI) — Toronto police arrested a man who was wanted in a shooting at the U.S. consulate, in addition to allegedly participating in other shootings there.

Zara Jabbi, 19, was arrested Wednesday for his role in a shooting at the consulate in Toronto based on security video that showed them sharing a gun while filming themselves on their cellphones in the act, The BBC and The New York Times reported.

Law enforcement said Saturday that Jabbi and the other shooters were “paid and hired by a foreign entity” that has been described as a guns-for-hire network, using encrypted social apps to covertly recruit young people described as susceptible to being convinced to carry out various schemes.

The arrest follows a series of raids that resulted in several injured officers of the Toronto Police Service, including the death of Police Constable Marc Pinizzotto on June 11 during the attempted arrest of Jabbi.

“In order to get paid, they’re required to film their attacks,” TPS Chief Myron Demkiw told reporters earlier this week.

“Who is paying for this?” he said. “This is what we are trying to determine.”

After the series of search warrants executed last week, during which Pinizzotto was killed, police arrested several suspects, in addition to recovering U.S.-sourced handguns that authorities have been used in a number of other recent shootings in the city.

Based on evidence, including surveillance videos and clips posted online, police said they believe the shootings are part of a “broader pattern” meant to create a sense of fear in Jewish and other communities in Toronto.
