Toronto police are investigating reports of gunfire near the U.S. Consulate after evidence of a firearm discharge was discovered outside the building early on Monday morning.
According to the report, officers responded to the area around Armoury Street and University Avenue at about 4:45 a.m., where a white sedan was seen leaving the scene shortly after the incident.
The incident marks the second shooting linked to the U.S. Consulate this year. In March, multiple shots were fired at the building in what the Royal Canadian Mounted Police classified as a national security incident. Two suspects were later arrested and charged in connection with that case.
According to the report, investigators are urging anyone with information or dashcam footage from the area to contact Toronto police or Crime Stoppers as they work to determine the motive behind the latest shooting.
