Toronto police announced the arrests Thursday of a 19-year-old man and a 15-year-old boy in the second shooting at the U.S. Consulate in five months, alleging the attack was part of a gun-for-hire network. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
The latest shooting in July followed a March 10 attack on the diplomatic mission that also occurred before dawn. Police arrested two people in that case in June. No one was injured in either shooting.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police also opened a parallel investigation, treating the shooting as a case of a hired armed group. The investigation is ongoing.
