Just days after two men fired shots into a Jewish school in Toronto, police in Montreal are investigating a shooting at a boys’ school there.

The attack, which occurred in the middle of the night, targeted a Belz yeshiva that is housed in a Young Israel synagogue building. At least two bullets were reportedly found. No one was injured.

Photos of the building show bullet holes in the glass panes in an exterior entry door.

In a statement the Jewish Community Council of Montreal, which is made up numerous Orthodox groups in the city, said, “We are calling for a rapid and comprehensive response by the government of Canada, the Quebec government and the City of Montreal so that Jewish Montrealers can once again feel safe walking to school, attending synagogue and going about their daily lives.”
