In March, several shots, were fired at the same building, leading to increased security outside the US consulate.
“In June police said, without providing any more details, that young people in the Toronto area were being paid to shoot at various targets, including synagogues, Jewish schools and the U.S. Consulate. Police arrested three people in connection with the March shooting, and one police officer was killed during the operation.”
Toronto police say officers investigating a shooting at the U.S. Consulate early Monday morning engaged in a high-speed pursuit of the suspect vehicle on the Don Valley Parkway before suspending the chase amid safety concerns.

CTV News reported:
“Toronto police say officers investigating a shooting at the U.S. Consulate early Monday morning engaged in a high-speed pursuit of the suspect vehicle. […] The vehicle was followed onto the northbound Don Valley Parkway but officers later discontinued the chase, which involved speeds of more than 140 km/h.
‘In terms of aerial support, it is my understanding that it was not available at this time. Had it been, no doubt the outcome might have turned out differently’, Barredo said. ‘It is a great advantage to police in high-speed pursuits when we simply cannot pursue them on the ground, if you will, because of the danger it poses to the public’.”
Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow statement after the second US Consulate shooting “I want to say to the person or persons responsible, we will get you.”
“We have apprehended the previous shooters, all three of them, and we will bring you to justice.”
“You will be held accountable.”… pic.twitter.com/Z423OsQCei
