Canadian police say they are investigating reports that a gun was fired at the US consulate in Toronto.

“Evidence of a firearm discharge has been located,” Toronto Police Operations posted on X on Tuesday, adding that the report of gunfire was received just before 05:30 local time (09:30 GMT).

No injuries have been reported, and no suspect has been identified, the police statement adds.

It comes as Norwegian police investigate an explosion that occurred outside the US embassy in Oslo on Sunday. Officials there are seeking a suspect who they believe may have placed the improvised device in a possible act of terrorism.

    In case anyone else is wondering why a “Texas hello” makes the news, apparently it’s weird to do that in the great white north. Must’ve invented doorbells before we did.

      Where I’m from we have what’s called a Winnipeg Handshake

      It’s a greeting where instead of shaking someone’s hand, you stab them.

    Might as well say UK police if you’re lumping in Toronto as “Canadian police”.
