Overview
- Toronto police say two people exited a white SUV around 4:30 a.m. local time and fired multiple rounds at the building before fleeing, and an image of the vehicle was released.
- Officers found shell casings and exterior damage, with at least two bullet marks on a glass entrance door, and no rounds penetrated the facility.
- The scene was cordoned off for forensic work, no suspects have been identified, and investigators have not determined a motive.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney condemned the shooting as extremely concerning, and authorities are bolstering protection for the U.S. and Israeli consulates and for embassies in Ottawa.
- The attack comes after a string of recent shootings in Toronto targeting synagogues and a studio linked to an Iranian-Canadian critic and after an explosion outside the U.S. Embassy in Oslo, with no confirmed link among the incidents.
