Toronto: Shots were fired near the US Consulate in Toronto early Monday, marking the second such incident near the diplomatic mission in the past four months. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
“Officers heard a firearm being discharged in the area,” and “a white sedan was seen fleeing the scene,” Toronto police said on X.
Police sealed off the area and recovered shell casings during the investigation. No suspects have been identified so far.
The US Consulate thanked the police for “their response” to Monday’s shooting.
The latest incident follows a shooting on March 10, when two men allegedly opened fire at the consulate in what police described as a “national security incident.” Two suspects, aged 18 and 19, were arrested in June in connection with that case.
Police also said they were investigating shootings with a recurring and similar modus operandi, including the shooting at a Toronto synagogue on March 2.
