11 June 2026 - Toronto Police Officer killed in raid linked to U.S. consulate shooting

[brihard]

Toronto Police constable Marc Pinizzotto of the Emergency Task Force was killed in a raid this morning, with one suspect hospitalized in custody and another suspect at large.

OPP and Ambassador Hoekstra have both linked this event to the shooting at the U.S. Consulate, which the U.S. have suggested in a federal indictment of someone down there is linked to Iran.

I’ll be steering well clear of speculating on this, but open source articles are fair game. If in fact that link is legit… Holy crap.

This one will be all hands on deck for any organization involved.

I’ll reserve judgment- for now

If it’s what it looks like, that person is the most wanted man in North America right now. Everything imaginable will go into this.

Speculation:

According to organizations like JusticeInConflict there's reports of hundreds or Iranian regime figures living in Canada.

In 2021 or 2022 former Tehran police chief and a general in the IRGC was photographed working out at a gym in Richmond Hill, Ontario.

In 2025 CBSA found at least 20 senior Iranian Regime officials living in Canada.

Only a very small number of these people have been removed.


Toronto might see it's very own Iranian Black September if we're unlucky enough.

The "hundreds" I've read about include both hard-core directly-linked regime figures, as well as supporters, "wanna be's" and "hangers on."

If I had to bet a speculative loonie, the chances of a truly high-end connected IRN official doing this is slim (although all those f@#$%^&*kers should be gone). Someone at the far end of the involvement spectrum wanting to earn their colours, so to speak? Maaaaaaaaaybe more likely. We'll see what we learn about

It'll be interesting to see how this unfolds, for sure.

I don't think the average Iranian regimenik wants to stand out with violence. They are here to actually hide their wealth in the West. The last thing they want to do is rock the boat. That doesn't exclude somebody who is just crazy. But I do think an organized campaign is unlikely. Also, the wider Iranian diaspora hate these people and watch them like hawks. You can bet CSIS has their number.

Neither of the 2 names so far released look to be typical Iranian names. The individual arrested in the US was an Iraqi.

There’s some solid open source stuff that’s pieced together what’s out there about the Iranian criminal proxy attacks in the west, which includes a guy now in U.S. custody claiming to be responsible for Toronto. This is a bit long but a good read. Essentially Iranian agents are hiring shooters for individual jobs- shooting at a building, arson, etc. It’s being described as ‘gig economy’ terrorism. So that would inherently mean people being hired probably already exist in the criminal element.

Talking with a buddy who knows the Toronto policing scene well, apparently that apartment building is pretty notorious and police are regularly there for guns and gangs stuff.

Kid, under the age of 10, was shot there last year in his own apartment lying in his bed.
