A few minutes later, a woman standing in front of a Boston Pizza was shot at by four people in a white truck.

And just three minutes after that incident, a masked man walked into a McDonald’s and fired paintballs at two employees.

Police later pulled over a truck and arrested the four people inside and seized two paintball guns.
