Canada police investigate reports of shots fired at US consulate in Toronto

Canadian police say they are investigating reports that a gun was fired at the US consulate in Toronto.

"Evidence of a firearm discharge has been located," Toronto Police Operations posted on X on Tuesday, adding that the report of gunfire was received just before 05:30 local time (09:30 GMT).

No injuries have been reported, and no suspect has been identified, the police statement adds.

It comes as Norwegian police investigate an explosion that occurred outside the US embassy in Oslo on Sunday. Officials there are seeking a suspect who they believe may have placed the improvised device in a possible act of terrorism.
