Officer shot before 6am on Thursday while searching an apartment allegedly linked to March shooting in Toronto
A Toronto police officer has been shot as police raided an apartment allegedly linked to the March attack on the US consulate.
Toronto police confirmed an officer was shot before 6am (1000 GMT) while conducting a search warrant in the north-west of the city, and has been rushed to hospital.
The Globe and Mail, citing an anonymous source, said the search warrant was part of a national security investigation related to the shooting at the US consulate in downtown Toronto on 10 March.
Toronto police confirmed at the time that two men fired multiple rounds at the empty US diplomatic building before sunrise.
No one was hurt in the incident that Pete Hoekstra, the US ambassador to Canada, called “deeply troubling”.
Canada’s federal police have said the investigation into the consulate shooting would determine whether it amounted to a “terrorist” event.
