Police released a statement on Tuesday afternoon “to assure” Torontonians that the investigation into the March 7 shooting at Piper Arms is “active and ongoing.”

“Officers have been working around the clock – gathering evidence, speaking with witnesses and pursuing every lead to identify and locate those responsible,” the statement reads.

Police added that updates will be provided “as soon as it is appropriate to do so.”

Investigators have not released any information about the three masked male suspects who opened fire into the crowded pub that evening.
