On March 10, 2026, the U.S. consulate in Toronto was targeted by gunfire, with two men firing multiple shots at the building's main entrance around 5:30 a.m.
EDT before fleeing in a Honda CR-V. While no injuries were reported, the incident caused damage to the glass and door, with shell casings found at the scene.
Toronto Police are actively investigating, but no motive has been released, and the perpetrators remain unidentified. This event follows recent gunfire attacks on two synagogues in Toronto, and occurred days after demonstrations against a military attack on Iran were held outside the U.S. consulate.
Authorities have not confirmed any connection between these incidents. Ontario Premier Doug Ford condemned the shooting as an "unacceptable act of violence and intimidation," emphasizing zero tolerance for such behavior.
The U.S. State Department is monitoring the situation. The incident highlights potential geopolitical tensions and security concerns in the region.
