At least one shot was fired outside the US Consulate General in Toronto early Monday morning, marking the second such incident in just four months. Police reported no injuries, but a shell casing was found and the building's facade was damaged.

The shooting occurred around 5:00 a.m. local time (09:00 GMT). A white sedan was seen fleeing the scene; police briefly pursued but abandoned the chase due to the vehicle's extreme speed.

No suspects have been arrested, and the investigation is ongoing. A US State Department spokesperson stated that Washington is working closely with Canadian authorities.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford demanded that all those responsible be found, prosecuted, and punished to the fullest extent of the law.

In March, several shots were fired at the same consulate, and a police officer was killed during the subsequent operation to apprehend suspects.

Toronto police claimed in June that young people were being recruited via encrypted messaging apps to shoot at various targets, including synagogues, Jewish schools, and the US Consulate, for payment. However, no evidence was provided to support these claims.
