Toronto police say they have arrested 19-year-old Zara Jabbi, an outstanding suspect in the U.S. consulate shooting in March.

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.
