A Toronto police officer was shot Thursday morning while executing a search warrant at an apartment allegedly connected to an attack on the US consulate in March.

The shooting occurred before 6 a.m. in the northwest area of Toronto as officers conducted the raid. Toronto police confirmed the officer was immediately transported to a hospital for treatment.

Authorities have linked the searched apartment to a March shooting incident that targeted the US consulate in Toronto. The connection between the two incidents prompted the search warrant that led to Thursday's shooting.

The condition of the wounded officer has not been disclosed by police. No additional details about the circumstances of the shooting or whether any arrests were made during the raid have been released.

The investigation into both the consulate attack and Thursday's officer-involved shooting remains ongoing.
