They are investigating a possible link to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East that involves the US. <\/p>\n
Ontario premier Doug Ford called the shooting an “absolutely unacceptable act of violence and intimidation aimed at our American friends and neighbours”. <\/p>\n
“I’m glad to see that the Toronto Police are investigating and I expect that police at all levels will bring every resource to bear to find the people who did this,” Ford wrote on X.<\/p>\n
In Toronto, streets have been closed in the vicinity of the US consulate as police investigate. <\/p>\n
Several buildings in Toronto have been shot at since the US-Israeli operation against Iran began on 28 February. Three separate Jewish synagogues in Toronto have been struck by bullets in the past week.<\/p>\n
A Toronto boxing gym owned by an Iranian-Canadian critic of the Iranian government was also struck by bullets last Monday.<\/p>\n
No one was injured in either incidents.<\/p>\n
Police have not identified or arrested any suspects, and it is unclear if the attacks are related. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, police in Norway have released images of a person who is believed to be linked to the explosion there, which caused minor damage to the building and did not cause any injuries.<\/p>\n
The US state department is also investigating the incident.<\/p>\n
It comes amid fears of attacks against Americans and Jewish organisations by Iranian proxy groups.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"They are investigating a possible link to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East that involves the US.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":468023,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1397,90,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-468022","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-environment","tag-environment","tag-science","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/468022","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=468022"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/468022\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/468023"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=468022"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=468022"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=468022"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
