Canadian police have opened an investigation after gunfire was reported outside the U.S. Consulate in downtown Toronto, marking the second such incident at the building within four months. No injuries were reported.

An officer assigned to protect the consulate heard gunfire at approximately 4:46 a.m. Investigators later recovered a spent cartridge and discovered damage to the building’s exterior on University Avenue.

A white sedan was seen fleeing the area. Police briefly pursued the vehicle but ended the chase because of its high speed and the risks associated with continuing.

The motive remains unknown, and investigators have not determined whether the shooting is connected to a previous incident in which several rounds were fired at the same building on March 10.

Security was increased around the American and Israeli consulates following the earlier shooting and a series of separate attacks targeting synagogues in the Toronto area.

Police said in June that young people in the region had been paid to fire at various targets, including Jewish schools, synagogues and the U.S. Consulate. Three people were arrested in connection with the March shooting, while a police officer was killed during the operation.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford condemned the shooting and recent vandalism targeting two Jewish bakeries in the city, calling for everyone responsible to be identified, prosecuted and punished to the fullest extent permitted by law.
