 Canadian authorities probe gunfire incident at US consulate in Toronto 

 Canadian authorities are investigating after gunfire struck the United States consulate in downtown Toronto early Tuesday morning. No one was injured.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Chief Superintendent Chris Leather described the incident as a national security matter and said the RCMP is working alongside Toronto police to determine the motive. Security has been heightened at the U.S. and Israeli consulates in Toronto, as well as at embassies in Ottawa. Toronto Police Deputy Chief Frank Barredo said two individuals exited a white Honda CRV SUV around 4:30 a.m. and fired multiple shots at the consulate before fleeing. While there was damage and shell casings outside, reinforced glass and walls prevented bullets from entering the building.

Barredo confirmed both suspects were involved in the shooting, but no further details about them have been released. Ontario Premier Doug Ford called the attack “an absolutely unacceptable act of violence and intimidation” and suggested a potential link to the war in Iran.

Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow said the city is taking precautions, noting that the shooting follows gunfire incidents at two local synagogues over the weekend. She emphasized that the Jewish community has the right to live without fear or intimidation and said there is a heavy police presence at both the U.S. and Israeli consulates. Toronto has a significant Iranian population, and demonstrations outside the U.S. consulate related to the conflict in Iran are common.
