Police Report Bullet Striking Orthodox Yeshiva, Following Toronto Chabad School Shooting; No Injuries Reported
Gunfire hit a Jewish school in Montreal, the second such attack on a Jewish school in Canada in recent days. On Wednesday, police discovered that at least one bullet had hit the Belz Yeshiva Ketana at the Young Israel of Montreal synagogue in the city’s Cote-des-Neiges—Notre-Dame-de-Grace neighborhood. They believe the shooting at the Orthodox school occurred before Wednesday, The Montreal Gazette reported.
The shooting comes less than a week after two masked suspects emerged from a vehicle early on Saturday morning and fired multiple shots at Bais Chaya Mushka, a Chabad girls’ school in Toronto. It also comes days after a man was charged in a similar shooting at another Montreal Jewish school, Yeshiva Gedola, in November. No one was injured in the shootings, but Canadian Jewish leaders and political officials said the pattern was alarming.
