Toronto headquarters of armoured vehicle maker INKAS hit by gunfire

July 28, 2026

A company that builds bulletproof cars had its Toronto headquarters shot at early Tuesday morning.

Toronto police responded to reports of gunshots heard near Finch Avenue West and Weston Road at 1:53 a.m., the Toronto Police Service said in a post on X. A business was damaged and officers located evidence of gunfire. Nobody was hurt, and police said they had no suspect description.

Police did not identify the target of the gunfire, but INKAS Armoured Vehicle Manufacturing confirmed it was the company that was shot at. “Earlier this morning, our Toronto headquarters was struck by gunfire in a serious incident that caused damage to the facility,” chief security officer Andy Ellis said in a statement Tuesday. No employees, visitors or members of the public were injured, he wrote, and the building remains operational. The company builds armoured transport vehicles, executive SUVs, luxury sedans, limousines and special purpose vehicles for banks, law enforcement agencies, corporate clients and individuals, according to its website.

The shooting followed other recent incidents in Toronto. Evidence of gunfire was found early Sunday at two locations of Kiva’s, a Jewish-owned bakery. The area near the U.S. Consulate downtown came under fire the following day, the second time in four months.

“The incident is being investigated by the Integrated Gun and Gang Task Force,” Toronto police media relations manager Nadine Ramadan said in an email. “Any connections to other incidents will form part of the investigation. We have no further information to share.”

The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs said in a post on X that the gunfire targeted the manufacturer, which it said provides crucial technology to protect Ukrainians. The shooting came at a time of rising politically motivated violence aimed at harming and intimidating Canadians, the organization said, and it called on governments to get tough on terrorism.

Police have not said whether the shooting was targeted. Anyone with information is asked to contact police.

The final quarterly Canada Carbon Rebate (CCR) payment was issued in April 2025, but eligible Canadians who have yet to claim all the money they are entitled to can still receive retroactive payments of up to $1,800 per family. But that might not last much longer. On his first day in office , Prime Minister Mark Carney ended the federal fuel charge and, with it, the CCR. Carney said at the time : “This will make a difference to hard-pressed Canadians, but it is part of a much bigger set of measures that this government is taking to ensure that we fight against climate change, that our...

Islam remains the most negatively viewed faith in Canada, but opinion of Judaism fell furthest over 15 months, according to a new national survey. Jack Jedwab, president of the Association for Canadian Studies, which commissioned the Leger survey, said in an email that “the biggest change is in views toward Judaism.” Twenty-six per cent of Canadians said their opinion of Islam was positive and 50 per cent said it was negative, the only faith tested where more people were negative than positive. In March 2025, when Leger last asked the same questions, the split was 30 per cent positive...

Tinned fish has found an all-new fanbase. Searches for “sardines breakfast” and “tinned fish charcuterie boards” are through the roof . Thanks to TikTok, sardines have become a gateway, helping cans shake their utilitarian image. According to producers, purveyors and industry specialists, sales are booming, and the trend shows no sign of slowing. Drawn to tinned fish’s aesthetic, nutrition, skincare benefits, ease and versatility — and, it must be said, high protein content — a younger generation is giving the centuries-old foodstuff a fresh look. “Typically, it was always, ‘Oh, my...
