Toronto/CMEDIA: Shots were reportedly fired at a Jewish girls elementary school in Toronto for the second time since May, police say.
Saturday morning Toronto police said on twitter that suspects in a motor vehicle allegedly around 4 a.m. Saturday “discharged a firearm” at Bais Chaya Mushka Girls Elementary School in North York.
There were no reports of injuries, police said.
A police spokesperson reportedly said that more details would be provided by Toronto investigators to the media this afternoon.
Police are asking anyone with information about the incident to contact them.
Coun. Brad Bradford responded to the police twitter post Saturday and condemned the act against a Jewish school on Yom Kippur, one of the most sacred days in the Jewish calendar.
“Antisemitism has been allowed to swell in our city with no action,” he said in the post.
Police did not say whether the incident was being investigated as a hate crime.
This isn’t the first time the empty school was shot in the early morning hours this year.
In May, police opened an investigation after unknown suspects allegedly fired on the school early on a Saturday morning.
Condemning hatred and antisemitism, community members and politicians held a rally after that shooting.
Days after the incident, Ontario Premier Doug Ford also condemned the shooting at a news conference, saying controversially that immigrants were responsible for it, despite there being no evidence for that case.
