    Toronto police have arrested a 19-year-old man and a 15-year-old in the second shooting at the U.S. Consulate in five months, saying the attack was carried out as part of a gun-for-hire network linked to other violent crimes in Canada’s largest city.

    Police say they believe the suspects were offered money to open fire on the consulate.
