"A cinema west of Toronto says it is cancelling screenings of South Asian films after an arson attempt and a shooting on its property in the past week. Film.Ca Cinemas says both incidents at its Oakville, Ont., location occurred overnight while the theatre was closed and no one was injured. It says the incidents "may be connected to disagreements" within the South Asian film industry and it made the difficult decision to pull the screenings for the safety of its staff and guests."
"Halton police say they are investigating after two suspects used a flammable liquid to set the theatre's entrance doors on fire on Sept. 25, although the blaze remained contained and didn't cause significant damage. Police say that in the second incident shortly before 2 a.m. on Thursday, a suspect approached the cinema's front entrance and fired a handgun multiple times through the doors. Anyone with information is asked to contact investigators."
