Toronto police say they have arrested 19-year-old Zara Jabbi, an outstanding suspect in the U.S. consulate shooting in March.
It comes as police continue to investigate multiple shootings in the city allegedly orchestrated by gun-for-hire networks, and after an officer was killed last week during a related raid.
Police say they were called to the U.S. consulate on University Avenue the morning of March 10 after two suspects allegedly fired multiple shots at the building before driving away in a stolen vehicle.

The man accused of shooting Pinizzotto, 19-year-old Nicholas Bennett, was shot and injured by police and will be charged with first-degree murder, as well as offences related to two other shootings.
