Waterloo Regional Police say the recent paintball shootings of a school and a horse and buggy in Woolwich Township were related but did not target the Mennonite community.
Police say they have made arrests and that their investigation led them to a home in Wellington County where officers seized a paintball gun as well as 202 paintballs.
They say a man and three minors are facing charges of mischief under $5,000 in connection with the horse and buggy incident on Dec. 29.
