Montreal Jewish school target of another shooting in city’s week-long string of hate crimes

Members of Montreal's Jewish community say they will not be intimidated into closing the doors to their establishments after a day school in the city's west end was struck by gunfire overnight for the second time in the past four days, Report informs, citing CBC.

Bullet impact marks were found on the facade of Yeshiva Gedola of Montreal, located on Deacon Road in the Côte-des-Neiges neighbourhood, Sunday morning. Shell casings were also found on the ground nearby. No one was injured.

"It is sad once again to see that the Jewish community and our institution has been the target of hate crime and violence," Lionel Perez, a spokesperson for the school, said at a news conference outside the building Sunday morning.
