A 19-year-old has been arrested and supercharged in connectedness with a shot at the U.S. Consulate in process, said constabulary.
The arrest of Zara Jabbi occurred on Wednesday. He is facing six charges, including discharge of a firearm at a place, attack on premises of internationally protected persons and theft of a vehicle.
Officers responded to reports of a shooting at the consulate around 5:29 a.m. On March 10, said Toronto police in a news release Thursday. They allege two individuals exited a white vehicle outside of the consulate and shot multiple times at the building.
They said video surveillance showed the suspects firing at the building while recording on their phones. Police said evidence at the scene included shell casings and damage to the glass and doors.
The white vehicle, which had been stolen before the incident, was later found abandoned in Scarborough, police said.
He's set to appear in court Thursday morning.

Toronto police and the RCMP also arrested 18-year-old Sheldon Tracey-Stewart on June 11 in relation to the incident.
While Toronto police are in charge of the investigation, the RCMP and Integrated National Security Enforcement Team have a parallel investigation as they're "treating the incident as a national security threat," said the release.
News of the arrest comes after Toronto police Const. Marc Pinizzotto, 43, died after he was shot last week while police carried out search warrants in connection with shootings in the city, including at a synagogues and the one at the U.S. Consulate.
At a news conference last week, police urged Jabbi to turn himself in with relation to the consulate shooting investigation. They said he was not necessarily tied to the shooting of the officer.
