Shooting at US Consulate in Toronto: National Security Probe

0:00Reporting from the Daily News, now I'm Corey with the latest global headlines. Canadian police are probing a shooting at the United States Consulate in downtown Toronto that happened around 4.30 a.m. on Tuesday. Two people got out of a white Honda Sport Utility Vehicle, fired several shots at the building and then sped off. No one in style got hurt thanks to the reinforced structure, though there was some exterior damage and shell casings left behind. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police labeled this a national security matter and is teaming up with local officers to figure out why it occurred. They've ramped up protection at the United States and Israeli Consulates in Toronto, plus embassies in Ottawa. Ontario Premier Doug Ford slammed the attack as unacceptable violence against American allies and suggested it might tie into global tensions, including possible sleeper cells. Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow voiced strong support for the Jewish community amid rising anti-Semitic acts. This comes right after gunfire hit two synagogues in the Toronto area last weekend.

Police continue their investigation with help from United States officials who confirmed no staff injuries. Other officers are stationed at key sites today to keep things secure.
