Shots were fired at the US consulate in Toronto early Tuesday in the latest attack on an American diplomatic outpost amid the ongoing war with Iran.
Toronto Police said that they were called to the consulate in the center of Canada’s largest city just before 5:30 a.m. and found “evidence of a firearm discharge,” but no suspect.
“The shooting that took place outside of the US Consulate in Toronto early this morning is absolutely unacceptable,” Canada Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree said in a post on X.
“Canada will never tolerate intimidation and violence of any kind, including towards our American friends in Canada. We are glad to see that no one was hurt, and we are grateful for the quick response of [Toronto Police] at the scene.”
In a statement, the State Department said it was aware of the incident and was closely monitoring the situation in coordination with local law enforcement.
