Shots fired outside U.S. Consulate, heavy police presence in area

Toronto police are investigating after gunfire was heard near the U.S. Consulate downtown early Monday, July 27. Officers responded to the Armoury Street and University Avenue area around 4:45 a.m., though they have not confirmed if the consulate was the specific target.
Evidence of a firearm discharge was found outside the building, while witnesses reported seeing a white sedan fleeing the scene immediately afterward. No arrests have been made, and there is no suspect description available at this time.
The U.S. Consulate was previously targeted in a shooting on March 10, which the RCMP called a "national security incident." No one was injured during that earlier event, where suspects fired multiple shots.
In connection to that March case, police arrested 18-year-old Sheldon Tracy-Stewart and 19-year-old Zara Jabbi last month. Both individuals face multiple charges related to that incident, which involved suspects fleeing in a stolen vehicle.
Witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage are asked to contact Toronto police or Crime Stoppers. Investigators continue to determine whether the recent gunfire was aimed at a person or the building.
