No injuries were reported after authorities found evidence of a discharged firearm near the consulate in Toronto

Police in Canada are investigating after shots were fired at the US consulate in Toronto. Officers said evidence was found of a discharged firearm and that no injuries were reported.

Toronto police said in a social media post they responded to the reported shots at 5.29 a.m. (0929 GMT) on Tuesday.

Representatives for the US embassy in Toronto and the Department of State did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The incident follows the explosion of an improvised device at the US embassy in Oslo on Sunday. Norwegian police were still searching for a suspect, with a possible link to the Iran war among the lines of inquiry.
