Two people were charged in connection with the seizure, but police didn't say which person was the alleged member of the biker group. Patrick Callaghan, 49, and a second suspect are facing a combined 30 firearm-related offences, including unauthorized possession of a firearm and possession of a firearm obtained by crime. Both suspects were released from police custody with a future court date. Images released by police from the seizure show four One Order MC vests, a handgun, a rifle and a cache of ammunition. In a news release, the OPP said while the 'majority' of motorcycle enthusiasts are law-abiding, outlaw motorcycle gangs, or OMGs, are criminal organizations 'whose activities cause harm and victimization in communities across Ontario.' 'OMGs have been known to participate in illegal, profit-driven activities such as fraud, drug trafficking, extortion, intimidation, and murder,' the OPP wrote.

Minneapolis violence prevention workers indicted after March BBQ shooting
The Brief Two workers with the "21 Days of Peace" violence prevention group are now facing gun charges themselves. Kashmir McReynolds, 35, is accused of aiding and abetting possession of ammo/firearm and reckless discharge of a firearm. Alvin Watkins Jr., 50, is charged with possession of ammo/firearm after being convicted of a violent crime and reckless discharge of a firearm. MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Two members of a Minneapolis violence prevention organization, run by Rev. Jerry McAfee and tasked with deescalating conflicts throughout the city, have been federally indicted on weapons charges after one of them was shot following a cookout in March. What we know According to an indictment filed on June 5, 2025, Kashmir McReynolds and Alvin Watkins Jr., "recklessly fired approximately 43 bullets into the dark in a residential neighborhood in north Minneapolis" on March documents say that McReynolds fired one gun, while Watkins fired another, despite a core tenant of the group being they are supposed to remain unarmed in their efforts. Watkins was also prohibited from possessing a firearm due to prior felony convictions. At around 9:36 p.m. on March 10, McReynolds, Watkins and other community members were attending a BBQ near 36th Street and Penn Avenue North when 30 bullets were shot in their direction – one hitting McReynolds in the neck and torso. Although he did not see who fired the shots, court documents allege that McReynolds then retaliated by shooting in the general direction they came from. Following the incident, McReynolds, 35, was charged with aiding and abetting possession of ammo/firearm and reckless discharge of a firearm. Alvin Watkins Jr., 50, was charged with possession of ammo/firearm after being convicted of a violent crime and reckless discharge of a firearm. The backstory 21 Days for Peace was contracted by Minneapolis for approximately $1.5 million per year for fiscal 2023 and 2024 for "social equity building and community engagement services." However, the approval of violence interrupter groups by the Minneapolis City Council has come under scrutiny in recent months by those questioning exactly what they do, and by what metrics they are held accountable for receiving the money that is doled out to them.

Maryland man faces drug, gun charges after road rage incident on I-695
A Baltimore County man is facing gun and drug charges after an alleged road-rage incident in Baltimore County, the Maryland State Police (MSP) said Friday. Travis Thomas, 26, faces numerous charges after police said he was found with guns and suspected cocaine. Police said that around 11:00 a.m. on June 4, they received an emergency call from a motorist who said another driver pointed a silver firearm at them and their passenger during a road-rage interaction on the outer loop of I-695 before I-95. The victim and the passenger were uninjured during the incident. Troopers from the MSP investigated and identified Thomas as the suspect. On June 5, investigators located Thomas at his job in Harford County and executed search warrants. In the search, they found a loaded gun and suspected cocaine packaged for distribution. Law enforcement executed a second search warrant at Thomas' home in Dundalk and found two more guns, along with more suspected cocaine. Thomas faces two counts of felony assault, misdemeanor assault, and using a firearm during a felony. He is also charged with having a loaded handgun in his vehicle and possessing a firearm during a drug trafficking crime in Harford County. Road rage incidents in Maryland Maryland is no stranger to road rage incidents. In February, two men were arrested in separate road rage incidents in Baltimore and Prince George's Counties. On February 18, troopers received a report about a suspected road rage incident near I-695 and Liberty Road, where the victim claimed a driver in a red Mustang displayed a firearm. No one was injured in the incident. A day later, police spotted the same vehicle in the area. They later interviewed 71-year-old William Shockey at his home, where a search uncovered a loaded handgun. Just hours later, police responded to a separate report of an armed road rage incident on Route 1 in Prince George's County. In that case, the victim stated that a man, later identified as 70-year-old Charles Provost, displayed a gun several times. No injuries were reported. Troopers identified Provost as the suspect and found his vehicle at a home in College Park. Law enforcement searched his home and vehicle and found a loaded handgun. In early January, Gerome Alexander Quigley, Jr., 41, was charged for a road rage shooting in Frederick County. Police said he started shooting into a vehicle at an intersection near an apartment building. He then followed the car while continuing to shoot at the victims. Quigley was charged with attempted murder. Man dies after road rage shooting in Frederick County In July 2024, a man was arrested for a Fourth of July road rage shooting that left one person dead and multiple other people injured. The shooting happened on Maryland Route 140. The driver, Davon Dabbs, 20, and his passenger allegedly pulled over to fight a man identified as Christopher Patrick Moore. During the fight, Moore's fiancée drove up, got out of her vehicle, and pulled out her legally owned handgun before opening fire. She told investigators she hoped it would de-escalate the situation. Dabbs physically assaulted her before getting hold of the gun and firing multiple rounds. One gunshot hit his passenger, and two hit Moore in the chest. Moore was pronounced dead at the scene.
