TORONTO \u2014 Authorities in Toronto have located the stolen vehicle used in this week’s shooting incident at the US consulate, police announced Thursday.<\/p>

The white Honda CR-V was found just hours after Tuesday’s attack, according to Toronto police officials. Law enforcement revealed the SUV had been taken shortly before the shooting occurred but declined to release additional information about the recovery.<\/p>

The incident unfolded around 4:30 a.m. Tuesday when two individuals approached the downtown diplomatic facility and opened fire on the building using a handgun before driving away. Officials reported no one was hurt in the attack.<\/p>

The gunfire happened during a period of increased tensions surrounding the Iran conflict and came after shootings targeted two synagogues in the Toronto area over the weekend. Government officials announced enhanced security measures would be implemented at US and Israeli consulates, along with embassies in Ottawa.<\/p>

Authorities didn’t learn of the shooting until approximately one hour afterward, and police believe those inside the heavily secured consulate building may not have realized the attack was taking place.<\/p>

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police are investigating the incident as a matter involving national security. Both Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Prime Minister Mark Carney denounced the shooting as an intimidation tactic.<\/p>

Toronto hosts a substantial Iranian population, and the ongoing Iran conflict has sparked various demonstrations near the US consulate, with both supporters and opponents gathering. The diplomatic facility frequently serves as a location for protests.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
