Canadian police are investigating a reported shooting at the US consulate in Toronto that occurred early Tuesday morning. Evidence of a firearm discharge was found, but no injuries have been reported and no suspects have been identified. The incident follows an explosion outside the US embassy in Oslo, Norway, which is being investigated as a possible act of terrorism potentially linked to the Middle East conflict. This comes amid fears of attacks against Americans and Jewish organizations by Iranian proxy groups. Streets near the Toronto consulate have been closed as police investigate. Several buildings in Toronto, including Jewish synagogues and a boxing gym owned by an Iranian-Canadian critic of the Iranian government, have been struck by bullets in the past week.
