This is the best summary I could come up with:
Toronto police say they’re looking for multiple suspects who allegedly shot at an elementary school in North York early Saturday morning.
Paul Krawczyk of the guns and gangs task force said the suspects fired from a dark-coloured vehicle at the Bais Chaya Mushka, a school that serves Jewish girls in the Greater Toronto Area, just before 5 a.m. before leaving.
Krawczyk said officers will be increasing their presence in the neighbourhood near Dufferin Street and Finch Avenue W, canvassing homes and businesses for information.
In a post on X, Ontario Premier Doug Ford called the shooting a “gross display of antisemitism.”
“The fact a school was targeted regardless of whether kids were present or not represents another worrying escalation in the violence Jewish Canadians have been experiencing,” the statement reads.
In a separate statement, Michael Levitt, the president and CEO of the Friends Of Simon Wiesenthal Center For Holocaust Studies, said the shooting must “serve as a wake up call” for political leaders to “take the decisive actions that are necessary to confront the escalating hatred.”
