A 24-year-old Sikh man has pleaded guilty after videos showing reckless gunfire from a Jeep on Crown land in Ontario triggered a police investigation and firearms charges.
Gurkanwal Singh entered a guilty plea in a Bracebridge courtroom to careless use of a firearm after authorities linked him to videos showing guns being discharged in an unsafe manner in the Georgian Bay area.
The case first drew attention in 2025 after videos went viral on social media showing several men stepping out of a vehicle on a bridge near Bracebridge and firing long guns into the air. Ontario Provincial Police described the behaviour as “careless and unsafe”.
Court heard that on February 3, 2025, officers responded to a call in Georgian Bay Township, where they found a Jeep stuck on Crown land. Singh was identified as the driver and firearms were discovered inside the vehicle.
Investigators later obtained footage from an Instagram account linked to Singh. According to the court, the videos showed him using multiple firearms and firing shots from inside the same vehicle in a reckless manner.
