Overview
- Police said officers heard a gunshot near the consulate early Monday and found a single shell casing and damage to the building’s facade, with no reported injuries.
- An officer at the scene watched a white late‑model Honda Accord with no license plates speed away and other units briefly pursued it on the Don Valley Parkway before ending the chase for safety reasons.
- No suspects are in custody and investigators from the Toronto Police Service, the RCMP and U.S. partners including the State Department are cooperating on the probe.
- The July incident follows a March 10 attack that the RCMP treated as a national security matter and that led to multiple arrests in a wider probe of alleged gun‑for‑hire networks in the city.
- The shootings have raised security and community concerns in Toronto, prompted a sustained police presence at diplomatic sites, and could lead to changes in protective measures and cross‑border investigative steps.
