Summary
Toronto police said officers heard gunfire near the U.S. consulate early Monday, found shell casings and saw a white sedan flee; no injuries were reported and no suspects were identified.
The area around the diplomatic compound was cordoned off, and the consulate thanked police for their response as investigators worked to determine who fired the shots.
Monday's shooting is the second near the consulate in four months after two men opened fire there on March 10 in what police called a national security incident.
Police arrested two suspects, aged 18 and 19, in June in that earlier case and said they had been recruited for violent acts while also probing similar shootings, including a March 2 attack on a Toronto synagogue.
