Shots were fired at the U.S. consulate in Toronto early on Tuesday, but no one was injured, police said, in what Canada’s public safety minister described as an unacceptable incident.
Toronto police said on X they responded to reports of shots at 5:29 a.m. and found evidence of a discharged firearm. In another post, police said they had no information on a potential suspect.
“The shooting … is absolutely unacceptable. Canada will never tolerate intimidation and violence of any kind, including towards our American friends in Canada,” Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree said in a post on X.
“Everyone at all levels of government and across Canada needs to make clear that there is zero tolerance for this sort of intimidating and dangerous behavior.”
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.
