 Former Kennedy Center employees allege leadership delayed roof repairs before citing safety issues in closure decision Former Kennedy Center employees allege that the venue’s leadership knew about serious structural problems well before citing newly discovered hazards as the reason for its abrupt closure this month. The claims were outlined in a letter to Congress from a lawyer representing anonymous whistleblowers. The letter accuses the center’s executive director and chief operating officer, Matt Floca, of failing to prioritize roof repairs and stopping a funded repair plan in April. Floca disputes the allegations, saying recent inspections revealed that water damage had spread farther into the building than officials previously knew.

 U.S. Consulate Fired Upon for 2nd Time This Year; Police Seek Suspect Vehicle


Toronto police are investigating after the U.S. Consulate in downtown Toronto was targeted by gunfire for the second time this year early Monday morning.


Police say an officer on routine patrol near the consulate heard gunshots at approximately 4:45 a.m. and immediately spotted a white Honda Accord with no licence plates speeding away from the scene.


Officers briefly pursued the vehicle, but the chase was called off on the Don Valley Parkway near Don Mills Road after the suspect vehicle reached speeds exceeding 140 km/h, raising public safety concerns. Police said aerial support was unavailable at the time.


Investigators have not determined how many people were inside the vehicle, and the motive for the shooting remains unknown. No injuries were reported.


Deputy Chief Frank Barredo described the incident as a “brazen” and “despicable” act, adding that investigators will treat the case with the utmost seriousness.


The latest shooting comes just four months after the U.S. Consulate was targeted on March 10 in what police previously described as a gun-for-hire plot. Authorities are asking anyone with information or surveillance footage to contact Toronto police as the investigation continues.
