Toronto police say the service’s hate crime unit is investigating after a Jewish girls elementary school in North York was shot at for the third time this year.
In a brief social media post, police said they were called to Bais Chaya Mushka Girls Elementary School at about 2:33 a.m. Friday.
Responding officers found “evidence of firearm discharge,” according to police. No injuries were reported.
The hate crime unit and the gun and gang task force were both deployed to the scene, police said.
Supt. Paul MacIntyre is expected to provide further details about the investigation at a news conference scheduled for 12:30 p.m. ET.
The same school was targeted by gunfire in October, on the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, and in May.
Those shootings also happened in the early morning hours when the school was empty. A 17-year-old boy and 20-year-old man were arrested
