By Ryan Patrick Jones and David Ljunggren TORONTO/WASHINGTON, March 10 (Reuters) - Canada is increasing security around U.S. and Israeli diplomatic buildings after a shooting at the U.S. consulate in Toronto, a Canadian police official said on Tuesday. Royal Canadian Mounted Police Chief Superintendent Chris Leather said the consulate shooting is being investigated as a "national security incident," although it's too early to determine the motive.

Two men fired multiple shots at the US consulate in Toronto early Tuesday in what police described as a "national security incident," prompting beefed-up protection for US and Israeli diplomatic buildings in the city.

There were people inside at the time, but "this building is highly secure, highly fortified, and there were no injuries," Barredo said.
