Toronto police arrest two suspects in US Consulate shooting investigation

Friday, 7 August 2026, 06:27 · 1 min read

Toronto police have arrested a 19-year-old man and a 15-year-old boy in connection with a July shooting at the US Consulate in Toronto (Canada's largest city), the second such attack on the diplomatic mission in five months. Authorities say the suspects were recruited through an encrypted messaging app and offered money to open fire on the building, part of a broader pattern in which online platforms are being used to commission shootings, arsons, and homicides — with targets including synagogues, Jewish schools, and diplomatic premises. No one was injured in either attack, but both have been classified as national security incidents, and police say identifying who is ultimately directing these crimes remains a central focus of the ongoing investigation.
