Ontario Provincial Police in Bracebridge have released images of suspects they are looking to identify in connection with viral videos showing several men firing guns off a bridge.

“Many of you have seen the videos circulating on social media, showing individuals discharging firearms in a careless and unsafe manner. We have as well and we’ve been investigating for some time,” police said in a social media update on August 30.

“These actions pose serious risks to the safety of everyone nearby.”

The videos show several men exiting a vehicle on a bridge and beginning to fire long guns into the air.

It’s not clear when the videos were created.
