La policía de Toronto investiga un ataque con arma de fuego contra el consulado de Estados Unidos. Los hechos tuvieron lugar la madrugada de este martes, cerca de las cuatro de la mañana, sin que se registraran víctimas. Agentes policiales llegaron a la sede consular, ubicada en pleno centro de la urbe más poblada de Canadá, tras haber recibido llamadas de emergencia.
Frank Barredo, jefe adjunto de la policía de Toronto, dijo en rueda de prensa que las cámaras de seguridad lograron captar a dos hombres que viajaban en un automóvil Honda CR-V de color blanco. “Bajaron del vehículo, dispararon contra el inmueble y se dirigieron posteriormente hacia el sur, a través de la avenida University”, señaló Barredo, agregando que los investigadores están trabajando para identificar a los sospechosos y recopilar el mayor número de pruebas.

00:30Ah no, no.
00:32No.
00:47We definitely will be looking at any possible connections.
00:51Obviously it is far too early in this investigation, but we do not look at them in isolation.
00:54We look at them collectively
00:56and if and how there is something
00:59that is found to support that
01:01then that will obviously colour
01:02and direct how the investigation unfolds
01:05but it is not lost on us
01:07that the city has unfortunately experienced
01:08similar types of events
01:10extremely serious and very concerning
01:12shootings at synagogues
01:13and this very much factors into
01:15how we will approach this matter as well
01:17Obviously formal communication going on
01:19with our U.S. counterparts
01:20the FBI, the consulate itself here
01:23we've had members at the consulate
01:26here this morning along with Toronto Police
01:28meeting with staff here
01:29and their senior executive
01:31to discuss the incident
01:32Other consulates as well
01:34including the Israeli consulate
01:35will be seeing a change
01:37in the security posture here in Toronto
01:38as well as Ottawa
01:40Any other countries?
01:42Not that I'm prepared to speak to at this time
01:44We'll be assessing that
01:46on an ongoing basis
01:47but for now the U.S. consulate
01:50and the Israeli consulate will see a change
01:52So why did you choose those two consulates specifically?
01:55Well I think it's fairly obvious
01:56based on the incidents that have occurred
01:58here in Toronto and elsewhere
01:59that these consulates deserve
02:02a heightened amount of vigilance
02:04and security at this time
02:05in the hopes that we can bring the temperature down
02:07in the coming days and weeks
02:18So why would you like to wait for a moment?
02:24The city would be having to vote for minutes
02:25to not hide
02:25as they must have
