Another Shooting Occurs at US Consulate in Toronto, Canada; No Casualties Reported

Police are investigating after a shooting occurred at the U.S. Consulate building located in downtown Toronto on the 27th local time.

This is the second shooting targeting this consulate, following a previous incident last March.

According to Toronto police, an officer on security duty at the consulate heard gunshots nearby at 4:45 a.m. that day and found bullet marks on the exterior wall of the building.

One bullet casing was recovered from the scene.

Shortly after the incident, a white sedan without license plates was witnessed fleeing the scene.

Police stated that they immediately gave chase, but called it off due to concerns over safety accidents caused by the suspect vehicle speeding.

While the exterior wall of the consulate was damaged in the incident, no casualties were reported.

Toronto police's counter-terrorism unit and other divisions are currently investigating the case.

Previously, a shooting targeting the U.S. Consulate in Toronto also occurred on March 10.

Police have classified it as a "national security incident" and conducted investigations, while stepping up security at U.S. and Israeli diplomatic facilities in Canada in connection with the U.S.-Iran war.

Last month, police arrested two suspects aged 18 and 19 in connection with the incident.

They were reportedly involved in the crime as members of a large-scale contract killing organization, but specific details have not been disclosed.

Police stated that it is still too early to determine the motives or any connection between the March incident and the latest one.
